Clinical Studies on the Efficacy and Safety of Padma 28, a Complex Herbal Formulation from Tibetan Medicine: An Overview

Keywords: Padma 28PhytotherapyTibetan MedicineClinical studies

Abstract

Background: Padma 28 is an herbal formula from Tibetan Medicine, which since 35 years has been registered in Switzerland as a drug for the symptoms of circulatory disorders. Over this time, a large body of scientific literature has accumulated. The aim of this article was to give an overview of the clinical studies. Methods: A systematic literature search was done in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CCRCT). The clinical trials found were assessed regarding fields of application, efficacy, and safety, as well as methodological quality and level of evidence. Results: 29 trials (1 meta-analysis, 21 controlled trials, 7 open trials) and 3 retrospective case studies were found. They deal with different indications and include a total of 1,704 verum (of these, 697 children), 333 placebo, and 394 untreated or healthy patients. Dropouts and withdrawals were 2.5 and 3.5 times higher in the placebo than in the verum group, respectively. The highest level of evidence for the use of Padma 28 was found in the indication of intermittent claudication (11 trials). Indications of efficacy were also found in other vascular (6 trials) and different inflammatory diseases (12 trials). Conclusions: The results suggest a favorable safety profile for Padma 28, also in the children examined (41% of the study population). Furthermore, the results show a broad field of applications. According to clinical evidence, Padma 28 has shown to be a safe and effective symptomatic treatment option for atherosclerosis-related diseases such as intermittent claudication. It also seems to have a potential for application in certain chronic inflammatory diseases such as recurrent respiratory tract infections, viral hepatitis, and multiple sclerosis. However, further randomized controlled trials (RCT) are needed to confirm these findings.

Thank you so much. I will order and see if it works for me. Again, much appreciated. I will post with my results.

[Gottard in reply to Parable]

I hope you find it works for you. I am trying the lotus ones which are vegan, they have all the same ingredients in as Padma.

[Jumpey]

Thanks for posting. I may give them a trial..Which brand did you use?x

[Allyp69]

Sounds good...but what are these tablets?? Do they need to be taken daily or just when RLS starts? Not keen on regular Med's unless absolutely necessary as I don't get RLS every day, fortunately. Will check them out. Thanks.

[Gottard in reply to Allyp69]

They are a capsule l take one a day but you can take 3 it says. Herbal plant extracts.

[martino]

Thanks for posting this and also to others for their additional comments. RLS is thankfully under control but I am affected quite a lot with Raynauds. If I can find any Padma I will try it assuming it doesn’t affect the meds I have

[Kryn]

This sounds really interesting. Could you please tell me the exact type of Padma you are currently taking? Thanks 😊

[Gottard in reply to Kryn]

It was Padma Circosan the price has doubled since l ordered them. I have sent for the lotus make this time as they are vegan

[Kryn in reply to Gottard]

Thank you for your help. I take it that the lotus brand can be ordered from the same website?

[Gottard in reply to Kryn]

Yes l hope to get them tomorrow.

And I found this review on another website...

Ellen Oliver (Toronto CAN)

“I have to share my excitement about this product as I have had restless leg syndrome for years and have not been able to find anything that could help me with it. Up until now I have not been able to sleep at night, but now that I've found Padma Basic, I can sleep at night and my symptoms are gone just after a couple of weeks - anyone who has RLS must try this product!”

[Hidden]

Judging by Madlegs posting there seems to be good evidence that Padma has signficant benefit for someone wirh circulatory problems.

There seems little evidence for its effectiveness with RLS so far.

Many tried and tested (modern) medicines have been derived from plants so it's no surprise that (some) herbal remedies CAN be effective).

Yiu can't guarantee the safety of herbal medicines as much as medicines tested by clinical trials (and even then such trials may have missed long term dangers). However, it appears that Padma has been tested and is therfore as safe as anything else.

[LanaCSR]

How long did it take for your RLS to go away after starting on the Padma?
