Abstrakt: This systematic review aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Dihuang decoction (DD), anti-inflammatory drugs (AIDs), blood circulation improvement drugs (BCIDs), and conventional therapy (CT) in the management of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) and to establish their comparative effectiveness rankings. Using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Study (PICOS) design framework, we developed a detailed search strategy. The literature search included databases such as PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, Weipu Journal Data, and the Chinese Biomedical Database, covering studies published up to June 2024. We included randomized controlled trials that featured the DD as the experimental intervention, with three remaining treatments as comparators. Our analysis encompassed 63 studies with 5,435 participants, divided into 2,817 in the experimental group and 2,618 in the control group. The network meta-analysis suggested that the DD potentially surpasses AIDs, BCIDs, and CT in the management of HSP. This conclusion is supported by its superior SUCRA (Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking) scores across various measures, including the overall effective rate of medication, time to relief or disappearance of the rash, incidence of adverse reactions, time to relief or disappearance of abdominal pain, time to relief or disappearance of arthritic swelling or pain, IgA levels, and the relapse rate within six months (SUCRA scores: 100.0%, 88.3%, 79.8%, 94.4%, 99.9%, 88.3%, and 95.4%, respectively). In terms of overall effectiveness rate, the SUCRA efficacy rankings are as follows: DD > AIDs > AIDs+BCID > BCID > CT. Regarding rash relief and regression time, the SUCRA efficacy rankings are as follows: DD > CT > AIDs+BCID > AIDs. For the incidence rate of adverse reactions, the SUCRA efficacy rankings are as follows: DD > CT > AIDs > BCID > AIDs+BCID. For the relief and disappearance of abdominal pain, the SUCRA efficacy rankings are as follows: DD > CT > AIDs+BCID > AIDs. In terms of relief and disappearance of joint swelling and pain, the SUCRA efficacy rankings are as follows: DD > AIDs+BCID > AIDs. Regarding IgA changes, the SUCRA efficacy rankings are as follows: DD > CT > BCID > AIDs+BCID > AIDs. For the six-month recurrence rate, the SUCRA efficacy rankings are as follows: DD > AIDs > AIDs+BCID > CT. The DD appears to be a more effective alternative for treating HSP compared to AIDs, BCIDs, and CT. We hope that this study will provide better assistance to clinical practice.
