Currently, there is no systematic evaluation on the treatment of PE with traditional Chinese medicine ointment. The current aim is to systematically evaluate the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine ointment in the treatment of PE through meta-analysis. Methods:? Randomized controlled trials on the treatment of PE with Chinese herbal plaster were included in the meta-analysis, which was searched in Chinese and English databases up to March 1, 2023. The search will be conducted in accordance with the object of PICOS framework. Two research will independently use EndnoteX9 to extract the data and evaluate the quality assessment of included trails. Meta-analysis was performed using Revman5.4.1 provided by Cochrane Collaboration; when the outcome indicator is a dichotomous variable, relative risk (RR) was used as the effect size; when the outcome indicator is a continuous variable, weighted mean difference (MD) was used as the effect size, each effect size should be expressed as 95% confidence interval (CI). Results:? The results of meta-analysis showed that: The total effective rate of PE (RR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.15, 1.30, P < .01; I2 = 32%, Q = 0.17). The cure rate of PE (RR: 3.37, 95% CI: 2.30, 4.94, P < .01; I2 = 21% Q = 0.26). The recurrence rate of PE (RR: 0.25, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.48, P < .01; I2 = 31%Q = 0.23). Itchy points (MD: 0.04, 95% CI: ?0.19, 0.27; I2 = 26%) Skin damage area (MD: ?0.37, 95% CI: ?0.56, ?0.19; I2 = 26%). Skin damage form (MD: ?0.59, 95% CI: ?0.81. ?0.36; I2 = 0%). Conclusion:? A total of 11 articles were included in this study for meta-analysis, and the results showed that Chinese medicine ointment is more helpful in improving the skin lesion area and skin damage form, significantly improve the response rate and cure rate, reduce the recurrence rate. Chinese herbal ointment has guiding significance for clinical practice which deserve to use ointments by further experimental and clinical investigation.
