Abstract

The clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are statements that include recommendations intended to optimize patient care that are informed by a systematic review of evidence and an assessment of the benefits and harms of alternative care options. Currently, CPGs have been developed in the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for years; however, the method of the CPG formulation process is not standardized, which has caused problems in the quality of CPGs for TCM. To promote the development and improve the status of CPGs for TCM, we used the different processes for the development of CPGs in the world for references, combined with the characteristics of TCM research, and formulated the standardized process of CPGs for TCM to provide a reference for the developers of CPGs for TCM.
