The assessing contents of the health related quality of life (HRQOL) and the patient reported outcomes (PRO) are identical with the inquiry of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which are uniformly soft indicators which could be evaluated with the scales for instruments. The assessing method for the soft indicator in the HRQOL and PRO was gradually accepted by TCM practitioners and applied in evaluating the curative effect of TCM. The applying scale in the assessment of curative effect of TCM and the developing scale with the TCM features just started in the TCM field. There was much inadequacy in the scale study, such as no penetrating understanding of the theory and connotation of the scale in the HRQOL and PRO, on scale system for TCM, no direction in selecting scale, not standardizing in the design of the study with scale in the practice. So, it is necessary that the international guideline of developing scale applied for worldwide should be carried out in the study for developing scale. Meanwhile, it must also be under the guidance of TCM theory in the whole course. It will promote the normalization development of applying scale in the assessment of curative effect in the TCM practice.
