Abstract

Objectives To make comprehensive feature of clinical trials using herbal medicine and their results by today, then help a strategy for herbal medication-derived clinical studies in the future. Methods Through medical website (Pubmed EBSCO Medline), foreign clinical literatures about atopic dermatitis and herbal medicine were searched. And domestic clinical literatures about atopic dermatitis using internet website (OASIS) and hand-searching. Analysis was performed according to distribution mainly by subject, study design, number by year and its efficacy. Results and Conclusions Seventy-nine (Domestic literatures: Fifty, Foreign literatures: Twenty-nine) literatures were selected according to inclusion criteria of clinical study. 80% of domestic clinical literatures were observational studies, 50% of foreign were intervention. There were six adverse effect case studies, two follow-ups, one case report, four translational and four uncontrolled clinical trials in foreign literatures. And nineteen case reports, eighteen case series, two follow-up and five uncontrolled clinical studies in domestic. Six RCTs have established by four external herb therapy and two decoctions in Korea, showed positive effects. Three out of four external applications RCTs, four out of seven decoctions showed positive results in foreign studies. This study revealed the current status of atopic dermatitis clinical research using herbal drugs. To put clinical trials to use of herbal medicine in the treatment atopic dermatitis, scientific and objective-based studies should be needed.
