Interventions for treatment and/or prevention of alcohol hangover: Systematic review

“…Four of the studies were randomized (Bang et al, ; Lee et al, ; Lee et al, ; Verster & Berthélemy, ), whereas in the remaining studies, the details of randomization were not described. Five of the studies were conducted in a cross‐over fashion (Bang et al, ; Lee et al, ; Lee et al, ; Noh et al, ; Takahashi, Li, Koike, & Sadamoto, ). Only males were included in four studies (Bang et al, ; Lee et al, ; Lee et al, ; Noh et al, ), whereas in the remaining two, both males and females were included.…”

“…The studies tested the effectiveness of a plant‐based product or formula, namely, (a) polysaccharide rich extract of Acanthopanax senticosus (Bang et al, ), (b) Korean pear juice (Lee et al, ), (c) red ginseng antihangover drink (Lee et al, ), (d) dandelion juice (Noh et al, ), (e) KSS formula (Takahashi et al, ), and (f) After‐Effect© (Verster & Berthélemy, ). Three types of alcohol administration methods were used: amount depending on the body weight (Bang et al, ), specific amount of alcohol for all the participants (Lee et al, ; Lee et al, ; Noh et al, ), and alcohol amount preferred by individual participant (Takahashi et al, ; Verster & Berthélemy, ).…”

“…In four studies, only a single substance was used as the intervention (Bang et al, ; Lee et al, ; Lee et al, ; Noh et al, ); in the remaining two studies, a compound preparation made of several substances was used (Takahashi et al, ; Verster & Berthélemy, ). The interventions were administered either after alcohol (Lee et al, ), before alcohol (Lee et al, ; Noh et al, ; Takahashi et al, ), or both before and after alcohol ingestion (Bang et al, ; Takahashi et al, ; Verster & Berthélemy, ). In one study, the intervention substrate was given daily for 7 days prior to alcohol consumption (Noh et al, ).…”

In another study, four doses of the intervention substrate were given over 2 days after alcohol consumption (Takahashi et al, ).…”
