Abstract:
The basic premise of syndrome essence discussion is the standardization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome type. However, there still exists confusion regarding the standardization of TCM syndrome differentiation treatment, and the guidelines for TCM syndrome differentiation could not really be used for guiding clinical treatment. This is mainly due to the inappropriate use of research ideas and methods. The fundamental research of TCM syndrome based on the differentiation and classification of diseases is the main method for studying the standardization of TCM syndrome type. The accuracy quantification of symptoms is the powerful guarantee for authenticity and reliability of the results from standardization study of syndrome type. The correct choice for statistical methods gives powerful technical support to determine the differentiation threshold. The unified scales, expert discussions and complex scientific theories are the best methods for current research on standardization of syndrome type. The correlation study of syndrome type and physicochemical indexes cannot reflect the syndrome type completely. It is supposed to establish the treatment principles according to the main pathological changes of diseases on the basis of the standardization of TCM syndrome differentiation.
