Feverfew is a popular herbal remedy advocated for the prevention of migraine.
The aim of this systematic review was to look at the evidence for or against the clinical effectiveness of feverfew in migraine prevention.
Literature searches were performed using the following databases: Medline, Embase, Biosis, CISCOM, and the Cochrane Library (all from their inception to April 1998).
Only randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trials were included.
All articles were read by two independent reviewers. Data were extracted in a predefined, standardized fashion. The methodological quality of all trials was evaluated using the Jadad score.
Five trials met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The majority favor feverfew over placebo. Yet important caveats exist.
The clinical effectiveness of feverfew in the prevention of migraine has not been established beyond reasonable doubt.

使用以下数据库进行文献检索:医学索引数据库(Medline)、荷兰医学文摘数据库(Embase)、生物学文摘数据库(Biosis)、补充医学数据库(CISCOM)和考克兰图书馆(均从其创建至1998年4月)。
仅纳入随机、安慰剂对照、双盲试验。
所有文章由两名独立的评审员阅读。数据以预定义的标准化方式提取。使用雅达评分评估所有试验的方法学质量。
