Objective
This meta-analysis carried out the evaluation on the efficacy of integrated TCM and Western medicine in the treatment of eczema.
Conclusions
In comparison with Western medicine alone, integrated TCM and Western medicine are a more effective treatment for eczema, which can not only significantly improve the effective rate and cure rate but also reduce the lesion area and degree of pruritus.
