Sumario:INTRODUCTION: The aim of this systematic review is to analyse trial data on the effectiveness of a herbal medicine (Gan Mai Da Zao (GMDZ) decoction) in treating depression.

The selection of the studies, data abstraction and validations will be performed independently by two researchers. DISSEMINATION: The findings will be disseminated to appropriate audiences via peer-reviewed publication and conference presentations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO 2013:CRD42013005100.
