Objective: This article purposes to discuss and analyze the effect of Chinese medicine on menstrual migraine by reviewing Chinese literature of randomized clinical trials (RCT) in recent years.
Methods: We used menstrual migraine as the key word and undertook researches, through electronic resources federated search system of Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation Library, on the National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database in the category of traditional Chinese medicine from 2015 to September, 2020, and analyzed these articles.
Results: A total of 101 studies were included in this review. 32 RCTs were admitted, and 15 systemic reviews, 32 case reports, and 22 expert opinions were excluded. Moreover, literatures on acupuncture and comparison of two Chinese prescriptions were ruled out. Finally, 11 RCTs were adopted, including Western medicine contrasting to Chinese medicine or Western medicine contrasting to combination of both Chinese and Western medicine.
Conclusion: The intervention of Chinese medicine in menstrual migraine usually started before menstruation, and could subside the symptom significantly. Because the clinical trials that have published were limited and there was no unified curative effect standard, we need further large-scale experimental study to prove the result. In addition, we could not ignore the method of draining to remedy the vacuity pattern of menstrual migraine.
