THE INTEGRATIVE APPROACH IN ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS

Lifelong medications are required for symptomatic relief in Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). We report the potential of an integrative approach in reducing dependence on steroids and pain medications in chronic AS.

Cognitive effects of Bacopa monnieri extract

Randomized, placebo controlled human intervention trials on chronic ≥ 12 weeks dosing of standardized extracts of Bacopa monnieri without any co-medication were included in this study. The methodological quality of studies was assessed using Cochrane’s risk of bias assessment and Jadad’s quality scales. The weighted mean difference and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were performed using the random-effects model of the Dersimonian-Laird method. Results: Nine studies met the inclusion criteria using 518 subjects. Overall quality of all included trials was low risk of bias and quality of reported information was high. Meta-analysis of 437 eligible subjects showed improved cognition by shortened Trail B test (-17.9 ms; 95% CI -24.6 to -11.2; p<0.001) and decreased choice reaction time (10.6 ms; 95% CI -12.1 to -9.2; p<0.001).
