Research of Traditional Chinese Medical Syndromes:Progress and Problems / 广州中医药大学学报

ABSTRACT

In this study, we reviewed the research progress of traditional Chinese medical syndromes and analyzed the problems. The results showed that most of the reports of the traditional Chinese medical syndrome research utilized the modern scientific technology, and testified the rationality of traditional Chinese medical theory by modern medical logical thinking. It is suggested that for the present research showing obvious achievements should be continued, but for the study showing less effectiveness, the research direction should be converted after adopting the related suggestions. Before the formation of the optimum medical mode, the research of traditional Chinese medical syndromes should not be suspended. It is indicated that the future research of traditional Chinese medical syndromes should still be based on the ancient medical literatures, and can adopt the direct-viewing and microscopic explanation of the modern medical sciences , as well as their study methods of qualitation, positioning, and quantitation.
