CRD COMMENTARY:

Study selection, quality assessment, presentation of primary material and combining of data are all well conducted in this review. The search strategy includes only published English language studies, and there is no mention of accessing databases specialising in complementary medicine, which may mean that relevant material has been missed. There is limited information on the processes of data extraction and decisions for including or excluding studies. This review is an update of an earlier review.
