Abstract EN
Currently, quality issues concerning clinical research of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have come into the spotlight.
It has been recognized that poorly-devised research methodology largely restricted the development of clinical research in TCM.
The choice of appropriate outcome measurements is key to the success of clinical research; however, the current procedure for outcomes selection in clinical research of TCM is problematic due to the underdevelopment of clinical methodology.
Under this circumstance, we propose the introduction to the concept of Core Outcome Set (COS) and discuss the feasibility of developing a COS system that caters for clinical studies in TCM, in the hope that the outcome evaluation system could be up to international standards.
