The retrieval time was from these databases inception to April 30,2022.RevMan 5.4.1 software was used for data analysis after independent literature screening,data extraction,and bias risk assessment according to pre-established inclusion and exclusion criterias. [Results] Finally,16 RCTs with 1 371 patients were included. Metaanalysis showed that traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of pediatric tics can improve clinical efficacy, [OR =2.22,95% CI(1.58,3.13),P<0.01],improved the YGTSS total score[MD=-3.70,95%CI(-4.99,-2.42),P<0.01],YGTSS motor tic activity score[MD=-2.50,95%CI(-3.19,-1.81),P<0.01],YGTSS vocal tic score[MD=-1.56,95%CI(-2.38,-0.75),P<0.01],reduce the TSSS score[MD=0.08,95%CI(0.03,0.13),P<0.01],improve the ISLQ score[MD=5.30,95%CI(0.33,10.27),P<0.01],reduce the score of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome,and have good safety[OR=0.17,95%CI(0.09,0.31),P<0.01].
