Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis of 57 RCTs with 5,525 participants evaluated Banxia-xiexin tang (BXT) for functional dyspepsia. BXT was more efficacious than Western medicine with higher total clinical efficacy rate. Combination therapy improved motilin levels and psychological symptoms measured by SCL-90-R. BXT and combination therapy were associated with fewer adverse events than Western medicine or placebo.
