  • Included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing Chinese medicinal herbs for mumps, with or without complications.
  • Independent data extraction and quality assessment by two reviewers; efforts made to contact authors for missing data.

    • Main Results:

    • No eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified for inclusion in this review.
    • Of 108 studies initially identified with claimed randomization, 104 were excluded due to non-random allocation methods.
    • Four studies were placed in 'Studies awaiting classification' due to inability to contact authors for verification.

    Conclusions:

    • There is currently a lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to support or refute the use of Chinese herbal medicine for mumps.
    • Further rigorous research, specifically well-designed RCTs, is required to establish the effectiveness and safety of these traditional treatments.
