AB  - BACKGROUND: Chronic pharyngitis is a common disease with a dry throat, sore 
      throat, pharyngeal itching, dry cough, and difficulty in swallowing, bringing 
      inconvenience to patients' daily life. Banxia-Houpo-Tang (BHT) has proven to be 
      effective in the treatment of chronic pharyngitis, yet its real extent is not 
      well understood. To prove this point, we will perform a protocol for a systematic 
      review and meta-analysis of BHT for chronic pharyngitis. METHODS/DESIGN: We will 
      search for electronic databases both English and Chinese from inception to 
      December 2019. Two experienced researchers select the qualified articles from: 
      The Cochrane Library, EBM Reviews, OVID, Web of Science, PubMed, Chinese National 
      Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Academic Journal Network Publishing 
      Database (CAJD), China Biomedical Literature database (CBM), VIP Database for 
      Chinese Technical Periodicals (VIP). Journal Integration Platform and WAN FANG 
      Database. We select the appropriate searching language. The primary outcome was 
      remission rate, and the secondary outcomes include clinical symptoms, clinical 
      examination, adverse event. Data extraction and quality assessment will be 
      conducted by 2 experienced researchers independently. Data analysis and the risk 
      of bias assessment will be determined by RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS: Based on 
      the current proofs, we will get the exact evidence about the safety and 
      effectiveness of BHT in the treatment of chronic pharyngitis. CONCLUSION: Our 
      study is the first meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BHT in 
      the treatment of chronic pharyngitis, and it will provide evidence for 
      alternative treatment for the management of chronic pharyngitis. OSF REGISTRATION
