Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Clinical Trial Methodology
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Context:

  • Western medical evaluation frameworks are often misapplied to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
  • This leads to inaccurate efficacy assessments of TCM therapies.
  • Clinical doctors effectively use TCM despite conflicting trial results.

Purpose:

  • To propose a novel approach for evaluating TCM efficacy.
  • To align clinical trial design with TCM's differentiation theory.
  • To improve the accuracy of TCM indication finding.

Summary:

  • Clinical trials often misinterpret TCM efficacy due to inappropriate evaluation methods.
  • A differentiation-based approach is proposed, analyzing differences between effective and ineffective cases.

  • This involves integrating symptom evaluation, tongue and pulse diagnosis, and biological parameters using advanced statistical methods.

    • Impact:

    • This method can lead to more accurate identification of TCM indications.
    • It facilitates the design of more precise clinical trials for TCM.
    • Ultimately enhances the reliable evaluation of TCM's therapeutic value.
