The essence of asymptomatic syndrome differenciation is that the disease is in a special stage or state.To perform traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)diagnosis when there was no symptoms for differentiation is a key sci-entific issue in current TCM diagnosis and treatment.The reasons include limitations in doctor-patient behaviors and relationships,as well as limitations in cognitive thinking.To address such situations,the following strategies can be adopted from a thinking perspective,i.e.grasping the occurrence and development of diseases based on a holistic con-cept,using dialectical thinking to summarize the laws of diseases,integrating clinical practice with experiential think-ing,and introducing new thinking modes through interdisciplinary collaboration.These strategies help TCM practitio-ners make accurate diagnoses in the absence of obvious symptoms,thereby providing better medical services for patients.
