Abstract

Background
The purpose of the meta-analysis was to evaluate and contrast Chinese herbal medicine's effectiveness as a supplement to conventional treatment for diabetic foot ulcers.
Methods
The results of this meta-analysis were analyzed using dichotomous or contentious random or fixed effect models, and the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% CIs were calculated. 1140 individuals with diabetic foot ulcers were included in the 17 exams that were enlisted for the current meta-analysis, which ran from 2006 to 2021.
Results
When compared to standard treatment, Chinese herbal medicine significantly increased the overall effective rate (OR, 2.77; 95% CI, 1.89-4.07, p<0.001), reduced the size of the wound after treatment (MD, -2.44; 95% CI, -3.46- -1.43, p<0.001), decreased the number of patients who did not improve (OR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.15-0.45, p<0.001), and shortened the time it took for diabetic foot ulcers to heal (MD, -10.46; 95% CI, -14.91- -6.37, p<0.001). The number of patients who experienced a 30% or greater decrease in the ulcer area of their diabetic foot ulcer did not, however, differ significantly between Chinese herbal medicine and standard treatment (OR, 2.69; 95% CI, 0.70-10.30, p=0.15).
Conclusions
According to the data analyzed, Chinese herbal medicine had a significantly higher overall effective rate, a smaller post-treatment wound, fewer patients who did not improve, and a shorter healing period for diabetic wound ulcers. However, there were no appreciable differences in the number of patients who experienced ulcer area reductions of 30% or more when compared to standard treatment for diabetic foot ulcers. However, given the majority of the chosen tests had small sample sizes and certain comparisons had few chosen studies, care should be taken when connecting to its values.
