Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Traditional East Asian Medicine

Background:

  • Acupoint herbal patching (AHP) is a traditional East Asian therapy for bronchitis.
  • This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of AHP for bronchitis treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness and safety of Acupoint herbal patching (AHP) for bronchitis.
  • To synthesize evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on AHP for bronchitis.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted across nine databases.
  • Included studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs assessing AHP for bronchitis.
  • Methodological quality was evaluated using the Cochrane Handbook and GRADE criteria.

Main Results:

  • Seven RCTs with a high risk of bias were included.
  • AHP showed significant improvement in treatment effectiveness compared to conventional drug therapy (RR 1.28, P < .00001).
  • AHP combined with conventional therapy was also more effective than conventional therapy alone (RR 1.16, P = .01), with no severe adverse events reported.

Conclusions:

  • AHP demonstrates potential as an effective and safe treatment for bronchitis.
  • Evidence suggests AHP is more effective than conventional drug therapy or placebo.
  • Further research with larger sample sizes and rigorous study designs is recommended due to limitations in current evidence.
