Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included and analysed. <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> Of the 286 articles identified, twelve potentially relevant studies met our inclusion criteria. A meta\u2010analysis of two studies on recurrent oral aphthae (ROA) indicated that there were no significant differences in total effective rate (TER) for pain disappearance between EUP and placebo groups (RR = 1.96, 95% CI = 0.97\u20133.98, and <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.06). In two studies on skin diseases, the combined treatment of EUP with other interventions revealed significant effects on the duration of treatment or TER. In one study on genital diseases, EUP showed significant differences in genital herpes outcome measures compared to placebo. <jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Our results on the effectiveness of EUP for treating oral, skin, and genital diseases are not conclusive because of the low methodological qualities and small sample sizes. Further well\u2010designed randomized controlled trials, with high quality and large samples for specific disorders, must be conducted to obtain firm conclusions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/8025752","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,6]],"date-time":"2017-02-06T21:01:26Z","timestamp":1486414886000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["External Use of Propolis for Oral, Skin, and Genital Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta\u2010Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"given":"Soo-Hyun","family":"Sung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gwang-Ho","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nam-Woo","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0059-2689","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Byung-Cheul","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0536.1987.tb02699.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/472593"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0005772x.1979.11097738"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_2","volume-title":"Beeswax and Ropolis for Pleasure and Profit","author":"Houghton P.
