Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction (HGWD) for preventing and treating chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a side effect of chemotherapy.
- A systematic review of 32 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 1,987 patients showed that HGWD significantly reduced the incidence of CIPN compared to control and positive drug groups, and did not increase adverse chemotherapy-related events.
- The researchers conclude that while HGWD is a promising option for improving patients' quality of life and reducing CIPN symptoms, more high-quality RCTs are necessary to fully assess its efficacy against standard treatments.
