Real-World Study on Chinese Medicine for Treating Chikungunya Fever

Efficacy and Safety of Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Chikungunya Fever: A Real-World Observational Study

NCT07120724•Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Chinese Medicine-used alone or combined with Western medicine-in treating chikungunya fever, a mosquito-borne viral disease causing fever, rash, and severe joint pain. With recent outbreaks in China (including over 3,000 cases in Foshan, Guangdong) and no specific antiviral treatment available, Chinese medicine may offer a valuable therapeutic option based on its symptom-relief and syndrome-specific approach.
