A meta-analysis reported cancer pain in 64% of patients with metastatic disease, 59% of patients receiving antineoplastic therapy, and 33% of patients who had received curative cancer treatment.1 In Asia, traditional herbal medicine (THM) is frequently combined with Western approaches to treat cancer, usually in regimens that combine various traditional Asian herbs into one treatment strategy. Thus, we conducted this systemic review to summarize and critically assess the evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showing that traditional Asian herbs are effective for reducing cancer pain.
