Abstract

Abstract: Background: Migraine is a clinically high incidence rate of neurovascular disease. It is a recurrent headache. It is characterized by nausea, vomiting, fear of voice, and photophobia. Nowadays, a large number of randomized controlled clinical studies have shown that Chinese patent medicine has the advantages of good curative effect and high safety in the treatment of migraine. However, due to the variety of proprietary Chinese medicines, their relative effectiveness and safety have not yet been verified. Therefore, this study will use the network meta-analysis method to verify the effectiveness and safety of different kinds of Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of migraine. Methods: All randomized controlled trials of Toutongning capsule, Yangxue Qingnao granule, naoxintong capsules, Tianmagouteng granules in the treatment of migraine were searched from PubMed, Cochrane Library, web of science, EMBASE, sinomed, CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP. The retrieval time is from the establishment of the database to November 18, 2020. In order to avoid omission, we will manually retrieve relevant references and conference papers. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we evaluated the quality and risk of all the retrieved literatures. Methodological quality assessment and bias risk will be assessed using the Cochrane bias risk tool. Revman 5.3, WinBUGS 1.4.3, and stata14.2 software will be used for all data analysis. Results: This study will directly or indirectly compare the effectiveness of different interventions on migraine outcome indicators, and rank the effectiveness. The main outcome measures included total effective rate (total effective rate = rocovery + obvious effective + effective/total number of cases × 100%), visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and secondary outcome indicators included analgesic effect evaluation index and quality of life scale. Conclusion: To provide evidence for evidence-based medicine and clinical researchers to choose more effective Chinese patent medicines to treat migraine.
