Clinical research of traditional Chinese medicine for COVID-19: evidence, issues and challenges
traditional Chinese medicine has been involved in the prevention and treatment for the viral disease since the beginning of the outbreak
and has made remarkable achievements. This study summarized the progress and existing problems of clinical research of traditional Chinese medicine for COVID-19
and proposed strategies for future TCM studies in case of public health emergency in relation to communicable diseases
to inform practice and policy. Evidence shows that traditional Chinese medicine has potential benefits in COVID-19 prevention
treatment and recovery
may help to reduce the infection rate of close contacts
reduce the viral load; improve the symptoms
relieve inflammation
reduce the rate of progression into severe cases
and shorten the time for viral clearance; improve gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms and lung function in patients after COVID-19. Although large number of TCM studies on COVID-19 have been published
most of the evidence is of low quality. Therefore
more multi-center
large-sample
placebo-controlled
double-blind randomized controlled trials and related systematic reviews and meta-analyses are needed in the future.
