中文摘要：

目的：客观评价中医药治疗抑郁症的临床疗效。方法：以循证医学的原则和方法,对1979至2011年间《中国期刊全文数据》《维普信息资源系统》发表的关于中医药治疗抑郁症临床随机对照试验（RCT）文献采用Jadad质量记分法进行质量评价,并采用Cochrane协作网提供的Revman 4.2.10软件进行Meta分析。结果：共纳入19篇RCT文献,其中Jadad质量记分法14篇得分为2分,4篇为3分,1篇为4分。Meta分析结果提示,中医药干预组与对照组的有效率比较,差异无统计学意义（P〉0.05）。结论：中医药防治抑郁症疗效与西药相当,但因纳入文献研究设计质量较低,中医药防治抑郁症临床治疗效果还需要设计多中心、大样本、随机双盲临床试验进一步验证。
