Choto ‐san versus placebo for patients with dementia: systematic review and meta‐analysis

ConclusionLow‐quality evidence was suggestive of Choto‐san's efficacy for vascular dementia, but the present results may be overestimated. Studies with a larger sample size and conducted over longer periods should be performed. Regardless, Choto‐san can be one of the choices for the treatment of vascular dementia as it is well tolerated.
