Abstract:
Modern Chinese medicine is rooted in classical literature and the legacies provided by ancient doctors and their patients.It is also grounded in the practices of expert clinicians and increasingly informed by clinical and experimental research.Considering Chinese medicine's stage of international development,a whole-evidence approach is an appropriate method for compiling and synthesizing different types and levels of evidence for specific types of interventions.This approach can be used for the wide range of clinical conditions that Chinese medicine commonly treats.
