Application of patient-reported outcomes in clinical trials of traditional Chinese medicine registered in international clinical trials registry platform, from 2010 to 2022: a cross-sectional study

The use of PROs in TCM clinical trials has grown during the study period. However, there was an uneven regional distribution of PRO application and a lack of standardized, reliable PRO tools tailored for TCM. Great efforts are needed to enhance the quality and promote the use of PRO tools in TCM clinical research.

Abstract

The use of PROs in TCM clinical trials has grown during the study period. However, there was an uneven regional distribution of PRO application and a lack of standardized, reliable PRO tools tailored for TCM. Great efforts are needed to enhance the quality and promote the use of PRO tools in TCM clinical research.
