| Core Tip |
This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of liver-soothing formulas for perimenopausal anxiety and depression by synthesizing data from randomized controlled trials. The results show that these formulas outperform the controls (placebo and conventional Western medicine) in reducing anxiety and depression scores, with fewer adverse reactions. When combined with other interventions, they exert synergistic effects. However, the high heterogeneity and small sample sizes in some trials limit the robustness of conclusions, requiring cautious interpretation. |
