ABSTRACT
To systematically evaluate the efficacy of oral Chinese patent medicines of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen in the treatment of primary insomnia by using network Meta-analysis. Nine databases(CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, Medline and Cochrane Library) were systematically and comprehensively undertaken to identify the literatures published from the establishment of each database to August, 2020. Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) on oral Chinese patent medicine of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen in the treatment of primary insomnia, either alone or in combination with conventional sedative hypnotics, were screened out according to inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. Literature screening, data extraction and the evaluation of the risk of bias for the included studies were conducted independently by 2 researchers. Traditional Meta-analysis and Bayesian network Meta-analysis were then conducted with use of Stata 15.0 and R software. Finally, a total of 42 RCTs were included, involving 9 kinds of oral Chinese patent medicines and 4 196 patients. The results of Meta-analysis showed that(1) in terms of improving Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale score, the efficacy of the combination of drugs was significantly superior to that of sedative-hypnotics or most of Chinese patent medicines used alone, and Bailemian Capsules combined with sedative-hypnotics had the best effect; both the efficacy of Shenqi Wuweizi Tablets and Compound Zaoren Anshen Capsules alone were significantly superior to that of conventional sedative-hypnotics treatment, and Shenqi Wuweizi Tablets had the best effect.(2)In terms of safety, single use or combined use of Chinese patent medicine had a certain improvement as compared with conventional sedative-hypnotics treatment. Due to the large clinical heterogeneity, the studies could not be combined quantitatively, and no serious adverse reactions occurred in all patients enrolled in the study. The results showed that Chinese patent medicine of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen combined with conventional sedative-hypnotics could significantly improve the short-term sleep quality of patients with primary insomnia. In the comparison among single use of drugs, Shenqi Wuweizi Tablets had the largest possibility for best effect. However, the lack of evidences for international promotion, the influence of different types of sedative-hypnotics treatment and intervention time on the curative effect, and the patients' different acceptance of combined treatment should be considered before clinical application. Limited by the number and quality of the included studies, the above conclusions need to be further verified by more large sample-size and high-quality studies.
