Abstract:
Background: Literature reports randomized trials have examined herbal drugs and other smoking cessation therapies such as aromatherapy acupuncture but no comprehensive overview of the overall results has been provided. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to describe the overall effectiveness and safety of herbal medicines.Methods: This study was conducted from December ۲۰۲۰ to April ۲۰۲۱ by searching seven databases. Herbal drugs have been shown to help people quit smoking in randomized controlled studies. Two teams of researchers independently extracted the data.Findings: A total of ۱۲ trials with ۷۶۲ smokers were included in this study. The heterogeneity I۲ was ۴۳.۶% with P=۰.۰۳ (Cochrane Q test) and χ۲=۱۵.۷۷. The overall odds ratio (OR) at ۹۵% confidence interval (CI) was ۰.۹۱ (۰.۶۸- ۱.۲۰) which shows a protective factor of herbal preparations and very low heterogeneity. The herbal treatments such as Vernonia cinerea, St. John’s Wort, and lavender essential oil were significantly related to a higher continuous abstinence rate (CAR) compared to the controls with risk ratio (RR): ۲.۱۳ (۰.۵۷-۴.۶۱) at week ۸; RR: ۲.۷۲ (۰.۷۷-۵.۳) at week ۱۲; and RR: ۲.۷۷ (۰.۳۷-۱.۱۳) at week ۲۴. A ۷-day point abstinence rate (PAR) at week ۸ was RR: ۱.۲۴ (۰.۸۱-۶.۳۴) with ۹۵% CI; RR: ۲.۰۹ (۰.۹۳-۸.۲۹) at week ۱۲, and RR: ۲.۱۱ (۰.۳-۳.۰۸) at week ۲۴.Black pepper and lime were better in craving reduction than the placebo group. This study found no significant difference between the treatment and control groups in adverse effects, despite some minor side effects with herbal drugs. Conclusion: The results of this study showed herbal treatments have the potential to help smokers quit the habit. Further welldesigned trials comparing standardized herbal medicines with conventional therapy and placebo are recommended to reinforce this data.
