[Objective] To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of Angelica Sini Decoction in the treatment of DPN.[Method] Randomized controlled trials of Angelica Sini Decoction in the treatment of DPN as of December 2020 were searched using RevMan 5.4.[Result] A total of 12 literatures and 936 patients were included. The total effective rate of experimental group was higher than that of control group [I2=0%, RR=1.38,95%CI(1.28,1.48), P<0.00001], and further reduced TCSS score [I2=44%, MD=1.43,95%CI(1.00,1.86),P<0.00001], improved peroneal sensation [I2=0%, MD=3.59,95%CI (2.87,4.31), P<0.0001] and motor nerve conduction velocity [I2=0%, MD=6.07, 95%CI(5.21,6.93), P<0.00001].[Conclusion] Angelica Sini Decoction is effective and safer in the treatment of DPN. Angelica Sini Decoction is better in improving the clinical efficiency of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, reducing TCSS score and improving peroneal nerve conduction velocity, with higher safety.
