Efficacy of Ligustrazine Injection as Adjunctive Therapy in Treating Acute Cerebral Infarction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background: Ligustrazine injection has been widely used as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction (ACI) during the past decades in China, but its clinical efficacy is not yet well confirmed. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ligustrazine injection as adjunctive th...

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ligustrazine injection as adjunctive therapy for ACI.Methods: Databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Cochrane Library, Embase, Sino-Med, Wanfang Database, and Chinese Science Citation Database were systematically searched for the published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on ligustrazine injection in the treatment of ACI until November 2020. Meta-analysis was performed on the primary outcome measure (i.e., clinical effective rate) and the secondary outcome measure [i.e., neurological deficit score (NDS), fibrinogen, low shear blood viscosity (LBV), and high shear blood viscosity (HBV)]. The quality of the included RCTs was assessed according to the M scoring system (the refined Jadad scale). Sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted according to the methodological quality, years of publication, and sample size.Results: Nineteen RCTs, containing 2022 patients, were included in this study. Meta-analysis indicated that ligustrazine injection combined with Western medicine could achieve a better effect in the treatment of ACI than using Western medicine alone in terms of clinical effective rate (RR = 1.24; 95% CI, 1.19–1.29), NDS (MD = −3.88; 95%CI, −4.51 to −3.61), fibrinogen (MD = −0.59; 95% CI, −0.76 to −0.42), LBV (MD = −2.11; 95% CI, −3.16 to −1.06), and HBV (MD = −0.88; 95% CI, −1.20 to −0.55).Conclusions: This research indicated that ligustrazine injection as adjunctive therapy seemed to be more effective than using western medicine alone in treating ACI. However, more evidence is required to confirm the efficacy of ligustrazine injection due to the low methodological quality of the included RCTs.Huikai ShaoHuikai ShaoXia HeXia HeLijuan ZhangLijuan ZhangShan DuShan DuXiaoqing YiXiaoqing YiXiaojiao CuiXiaojiao CuiXinxia LiuXinxia LiuShengfeng HuangRongsheng TongRongsheng TongFrontiers Media S.A.articleligustrazine injectionadjunctive therapyacute cerebral infarctionsystematic reviewmeta-analysisTherapeutics.
