Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review was to overview and evaluate the effectiveness of fumigation treatment for women with atrophic vaginitis. Methods: We searched articles from Pubmed, Chinese Academic Journals (CAJ) and Oasis online databases. Searching keywords were #x2018;fumigation #x2019;, #x2018;atrophic vaginitis #x2019;, #x2018;vaginitis #x2019;, #x2018; #38452;道炎 #x2019;, #x2018;膣炎 #x2019;, #x2018;老年性 #38452;道炎 #x2019;, #x2018;坐熏 #x2019;, #x2018;熏洗 #x2019;, #x2018;熏浴 #x2019;, #x2018;좌훈요법 #x2019;, #x2018;질염 #x2019;, #x2018;위축성질염 #x2019;. After searching the articles, we performed quality assessment using Cochrane risk of bias (RoB) tool. Results: Among the 142 articles were searched, 5 randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) were finally selected. All of 5 studies showed that fumigation treatment has significant effect on atrophic vaginitis in terms of the effectiveness rate, but 3 studies were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Our systematic review found encouraging but limited evidence of fumigation therapy for atrophic vaginitis. We recommend clinical trials which obtain stronger evidence without the demerits of trial design. |
