Abstract:
Real-world study is based on evidence in real clinical medical environments. The results of real-world study have high clinical applicability and strong extrapolation， and are more in line with the characteristics of acupuncture and moxibustion. Therefore， real-world study is receiving more and more attention from the clinical research community. In this article， we briefly analyze the compatibility between real-world study and clinical research of acupuncture and moxibustion，and discuss the implementation of real-world research methodology of acupuncture and moxibustion. In addition， the shortcomings and countermeasures of real-world study on acupuncture and moxibustion in China are also summarized. At the end， we provide an outlook on the application of real-world study in clinical research of acupuncture and moxibustion.
