Importance. Panax Notoginseng Saponins (PNS) are proven to have antiplatelet effects in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Objective. To assess the efficacy and safety of PNS on antiplatelet therapy in the treatment of AIS. Methods. We searched 7 literature databases and 2 clinical studies databases for randomized controlled studies (RCTs) evaluating PNS as an adjuvant therapy for AIS. Relevant studies were retrieved and screened, and data were extracted independently by two reviewers. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk Assessment Tool. Meta-analysis was carried out with the Rev Man 5.4 software. Results. Of 8267 records identified, 43 RCTs met our inclusion criteria (n = 4170 patients). Patients assigned to PNS with conventional treatments (CTs) had improved functional independence at 90 days compared with those assigned to CTs alone (RR = 1.87, 95% CI = 1.37, to 2.55, P < 0.0001 ). Patients who received PNS combined with CTs showed significantly high improvements in neurological function among individuals with AIS on the neurologic deficit score (NDS) (MDCSS = −5.71, 95% CI = −9.55 to −1.87, P = 0.004 ; MDNIHSS = −3.94, 95% CI = −5.65 to −2.23, P < 0.00001 ). The results also showed PNS contributed to a betterment in activities of daily living (ADL) on the Barthel index (MDday10 BI = 4.86, 95% CI = 2.18, to 7.54, P < 0.00001 ; MDday 14 BI = 13.92, 95% CI = 11.46 to 16.38, P &...
