[Methods] The clinical controlled trials of Zhigancao decoction and its modified prescriptions in treating the pulse-arrhythmia and heart-palpitation were collected and the qualified research in them was selected.Their quality evaluation was performed by using the Cochrane system estimation manual of 4.2.2 edition about RCT.[Results] Thirty clinical controlled trials were found,among them the research finished in a single-center were 30.According to the assessing standard of Cochrane,all articles belonged to scale C.[Conclusion] From these available researches it is considered that the effects of Zhigancao decoction and its modified prescriptions in treating pulse-arrhythmia and heart-palpitate were more superior than that of the control group.But the quality of the literatures was not so high generally.Much more clinically controlled trials with high quality were expected.
