Systematic Review

Chinese herbal medicine has shown effectiveness in treating amenorrhea caused by antipsychotic drugs, with an overall treatment effectiveness rate of 0.91, but the duration of treatment is relatively long, and further research is required to explore its application in this context.

Write an executive summary in the form of a blog article on the topic of "Researched Chinese medicine treatments for Antipsychotic" summarising the research below in an objective and easy to understand way, and using language that can be easily understood by patients. Group the article into Chinese medicine treatments first, followed by nutrition and other treatments. Avoid using medical jargon and use a professional and caring tone of voice.

Write me a concise but easy to understand executive summary on the topic of "Chinese medicine treatments for Antipsychotic" based on the following research that I will give you. Your summary should be 2 paragraphs long in Australian English spelling and include references to the studies.

A Systematic Review published in 2022 in the journal Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that Chinese herbal medicine has shown effectiveness in treating amenorrhea caused by antipsychotic drugs, with an overall treatment effectiveness rate of 0.91, but the duration of treatment is relatively long, and further research is required to explore its application in this context. The passage presents a meta-analysis of traditional Chinese herbal medicine for treating amenorrhea caused by antipsychotic drugs. Chinese herbal medicine was found to be effective, with an overall success rate of 0.91, but the treatment duration was often lengthy, exceeding three months. Commonly used herbal remedies included Danggui, Chuanxiong, Taoren, Honghua, Gancao, Fuling, Baizhu, Xiangfu, Chaihu, Shudihuang, and Baishao. The study suggests that Chinese herbal medicine can be a viable option for managing this condition, but further research is needed to understand its mechanisms and optimize treatment approaches.

A Review Article published in 2022 in the journal Journal of Pharmaceutical Negative Results found that Morinda citrifolia (Noni) exhibits potential therapeutic activities for treating central nervous system disorders by targeting mainly receptors, enzyme transporters, and has neuroprotective activity. The research involved gathering existing scholarly literature across databases such as ResearchGate, Medline, and Wikipedia. It focused on the impact of the Noni plant on receptors, enzyme transporters, and the various methods for evaluating CNS disorders. The antidepressant effects of the Morinda citrifolia fruit were assessed in vitro using Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) A and B bioassays. The antipsychotic activity was determined by measuring the degree of inhibition of dopaminergic receptors by the Methanolic extract of Noni. In the discussion of the results, the findings suggested that Morinda citrifolia fruit has potential therapeutic benefits. The Noni fruit appears to work synergistically due to its constituent active compounds that inhibit MAOA and MAOB enzymes, displaying antidepressant activity. Moreover, it showed an antipsychotic activity attributed to the Methanolic extract of Noni inhibiting dopaminergic receptors. Other notable activities include anti-craving for alcohol dependence, judged by CPP test, anxiolytic activity exhibited by the administration of benzodiazepine and MMC in mouse models, and also neuroprotective ability by reducing brain impairment caused by reperfusion injury.

A Systematic Review published in 2016 in the journal BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies found that Our results suggest that acupuncture could be effective for treating insomnia after stroke. A total of 165 studies were identified; 13 RCTs met our inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that acupuncture appeared to be more effective than drugs for treatment of insomnia after stroke, as assessed by the PSQI and by the efficacy standards of Chinese medicine. Intradermal acupuncture had significant effects compared with sham acupuncture, as assessed by the ISI and the AIS.
