Shalom Charles*

Objective: To systematically evaluate the safety and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of psoriasis using the theory of blood syndrome.

Methods: Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Chinese Science and Technology Journal Full Text Database (VIP), Wanfang Database and China Journal Full Text Database (CNKI) were searched by computer from establishment to January 2022. Randomized controlled trials of psoriasis treated by traditional Chinese medicine under "blood syndrome theory" were included for systematic review based on inclusion and exclusion criteria; the literature quality of the included literatures was evaluated according to the Cochrane Reviewer's Handbook 5.1.0 evaluation criteria and tools. The Cochrane Collaboration provided RevMan5.1 software, which was used as to perform meta-analysis is on all of the selected data.

Results: The "blood based treatment" of psoriasis offers certain advantages in terms of improving clinical efficacy, reducing adverse reactions, and reducing recurrence rate. However, due to methodological problems of included studies and possible publication bias, these limitations should be considered before drawing conclusions.
