Background:
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at the colonic mucosa and submucosa. Shen-Ling-Bai-Zhu-San (SLBZS) is one of the most common formulations of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the treatment of UC. However, its effects and safety remain uncertain. This protocol is described for a systematic review to investigate the beneficial effects and safety of SLBZS for UC.
Methods:
We will systematically search for eligible studies in PubMed, the Cochrane library, Embase, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Data (WAN FANG) until August 2018. The primary outcomes are the induction of remission and the maintenance of remission. The summary results will be pooled using the random-effects model or fixed-effects model according to the heterogeneity of the included studies.
Results:
The results will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication.
Conclusion:
The conclusion of our systematic review will provide evidence to judge whether SLBZS is an effective intervention for patient with UC.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
