Systematic Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Buyang Huanwu Tang in Preventing Oxaliplatin-induced Peripheral Neurotoxicity in Cancer Patients
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of Buyang Huanwu Tang (BYHWT) in preventing oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN) in cancer patients. Method: PubMed
EMbase
Cochrane Libraries
CNKI
Wanfang and VIP databases were retrieved from the date of establishment until September 2015.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of BYHWT in preventing OIPN in cancer patients were collected. Statistical analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3. Result: ① Eight RCTs involving 489 patients were included. The results of Meta-analyses showed statistically significant differences in total incidence of OIPN
incidence of severe OIPN and peripheral nerve conduction velocity between BYHWT group and control group; ② All of the studies included showed no adverse reaction induced by BYHWT. Conclusion: BYHWT is safe and effective in preventing OIPN and reducing the incidence of OIPN. However
due to the restrictions in the quantity and quality of the included studies
more multicenter high-quality RCTs with large sample size are needed to verify the above conclusion.
