Pycnogenol Cognition Randomized TrialMethodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool, and data were analyzed within a Bayesian framework.1Yang Y (2025)Comparative efficacy and safety of botanical drugs for mild cognitive impairment: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Pycnogenol Cognition Randomized TrialConclusion Pycnogenol showed the highest probability of improving cognitive function and daily living scores in patients with MCI, while Cosmos caudatus supplementation ranked highest for psychological outcomes.1Yang Y (2025)Comparative efficacy and safety of botanical drugs for mild cognitive impairment: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Pycnogenol Cognition Randomized TrialObjective This study evaluated the comparative efficacy and safety of eighteen botanical drug interventions in improving cognitive function, daily living activities, and psychological wellbeing in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).1Yang Y (2025)Comparative efficacy and safety of botanical drugs for mild cognitive impairment: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Pycnogenol Cognition Randomized TrialMethods Randomized controlled trials were identified from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science up to September 2025.1Yang Y (2025)Comparative efficacy and safety of botanical drugs for mild cognitive impairment: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
