Results: 119 studies and 193 studies were searched in each domestic databases and foreign databases, and 9 studies were finally selected. The control group was all treated with only western medicine. Among the treatment group, 2 studies were treated with only oral herbal medicine, 1 study was treated with herbal medicine and acupuncture, 5 studies were treated with combined treatment of herbal medicine and western medicine, 1 study was treated with combined treatment of herbal medicine, acupuncture and western medicine. In all 9 studies, the total effective rate and cure rate were higher in the treatment group than those of the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: Korean medicine alone or combined with western medicine is more effective for treating Secondary Amenorrhea compared to using western medicine alone.
