Hypertension is a prevalent condition with significant impacts on human health.
Chinese herbal foot bath, a traditional Chinese medicine treatment, is believed to help manage hypertension.
This systematic review aims to assess the efficacy of combining Chinese herbal foot bath with conventional treatment for hypertension.
A thorough search across eight databases was conducted to identify relevant studies on Chinese herbal foot bath for hypertension.
Randomized controlled trials examining the benefits and risks of using Chinese herbal foot bath combined with conventional treatment for hypertension were included.
Blood pressure changes before and after the Chinese herbal foot bath were assessed, and outcomes were analyzed using Review Manager 5.3 software. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using the GRADE tool.
