This chapter provides an up-to-date synopsis of the clinical study literature and an evaluation of the evidence. Comprehensive searches of nine Chinese and English databases identified 8,952 articles. A total of 185 controlled trials were selected for systematic review, and a series of meta-analyses were conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicines for allergic rhinitis. Details from 78 non-controlled studies were extracted to provide an overview of the interventions used and the safety of these Chinese herbal medicines. The evidence for Chinese herbal medicine is promising, particularly for improving nasal symptoms and the total effective rate of treatment. Benefits were evident when Chinese herbal medicine was used alone and when combined with conventional pharmacotherapies.
