Patient-reported outcome tools of acupuncture clinical trials in mainland China: a cross-sectional study
In this cross-sectional study, the use of PROs has increased over the past few decades based on acupuncture clinical trials conducted in mainland China. Given the uneven distribution and lack of acupuncture-specific PROs in the application of acupuncture clinical trials, further attention should be paid to the standardization and regulation of acupuncture-specific scales in the field of acupuncture clinical research.
