چکیده

مقدمه: علائم وازوموتور تقریباً در ۷۵% زنان حول‌و‌حوش یائسگی رخ می‌دهند. گرگرفتگی، علت اصلی مراجعه زنان برای دریافت مراقبت دوران یائسگی است. درمان با استروژن مؤثرترین روش موجود برای درمان علائم می‌باشد که با توجه به خطرهای شناخته شده هورمون‌درمانی، بسیاری از زنان به استفاده از داروهای گیاهی برای درمان علائم یائسگی از جمله گرگرفتگی علاقه‌مند هستند، لذا مطالعه حاضر با هدف بررسی کارآزمایی‌های بالینی انجام شده در زمینه بررسی اثربخشی انواع داروهای گیاهی در درمان گرگرفتگی انجام شد.
روش‌کار: در این مطالعه مروری، جهت یافتن مقالات مرتبط پایگاه‌های الکترونیکی SID، Pubmed ،  SCOPUS و Web of Science با استفاده از کلمات کلیدی گرگرفتگی، داروهای گیاهی، زنان یائسه و واژه‌های لاتین Menopause، Herbal medicine، medicine و Hot flash از سال 2019-2002 مورد جستجو قرار گرفتند. مقالاتی که به‌صورت کارآزمایی بالینی صورت گرفته بود، انتخاب شدند.
یافته‌ها: در این مطالعه۳۱ کارآزمایی بالینی تصادفی شناسایی شدند. این مطالعات به بررسی ویتاگنوس (۲)، سویا (4)، کوهوش سیاه (۳)، جینکوبیلوبا (۲)، مریم‌گلی (۴)، سنبل‌الطیب (۲)، تخم کتان (۲)، شبدر قرمز (۵)، گل راعی (۱)، گل مغربی (۲)، شنبلیله (۱) و گل ساعتی (۱) و یک مطالعه نیز که به شکل ترکیبی انجام شده بود، پرداخته بودند. به‌نظر می‌رسد فیتواستروژن‌ها و لیگنان‌های موجود در این گیاهان با کمترین عوارض جانبی، می‌توانند منجر به کاهش شدت و مدت گرگرفتگی شوند.
نتیجه‌گیری:به‌طور ‌کلی، یافته‌های مطالعه حاضر نشان داد که داروهای گیاهی که جزء گروه فیتواستروژن‌ها یا لیگنان‌ها می‌باشند مانند ویتاگنوس، شیرین‌بیان، سویا، شبدر قرمز، بذر کتان، مریم‌گلی، گل ساعتی، سنبل‌الطیب، گل راعی و روغن گل مغربی، می‌توانند به بهبود گرگرفتگی بیانجامند، اما به مطالعات بیشتر در جمعیت بزرگ‌تر نیاز می‌باشد.
