Research Progress of TCM in the Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
The methods of TCM for the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS)mainly include internal therapies,external therapies and combined therapies.However,at present,there are still the following problems:(1)The sample size of clinical cases is too small,lack of follow-up of patients after treatment,affecting the credibility of the study;(2)The diagnosis lacks a clear diagnostic marker as the gold standard;(3)The evaluation of treatment effect is mostly scale score,lack of unified objective criteria for therapeutic effect.(4)The current study mainly explores the mechanism from the perspectives of immunity,inflammation,oxidative damage,and the rele-vant mechanism is still not clear.In future research,the number of observation cases should be increased,attention should be paid to retrospective studies,follow-up rate should be improved,unified diagnostic and therapeutic criteria should be established,and the re-search on relevant mechanisms should be strengthened,so as to clarify the mechanism of drugs and external therapy,enrich the basis of evidence-based medicine,and promote the application and development of TCM in the field of CFS treatment.
