haiwainet.cn<\/a>:<\/p>\nOn March 31, World Health Organization released the meeting report of “WHO Expert Meeting on Evaluation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the Treatment of COVID-19” on its official website. The report acknowledged that on the basis of clinically relevant outcome measures, the studied TCMs are beneficial in the treatment of COVID-19, particularly in mild-to-moderate cases. WHO encourages Member States to consider the integration of traditional medicine interventions such as TCM in planning for the clinical management of COVID-19 in the context of their healthcare systems and regulatory frameworks.<\/p>\n
The report pointed out that in the process of treating COVID-19, there are promising data to suggest that TCM is beneficial in reducing the risk of progression from mild-to-moderate cases to severe COVID-19. When administered as add-on interventions to conventional treatment, TCM may shorten the time for viral clearance, resolution of clinical symptoms, and length of hospital stay when compared to conventional treatment alone.<\/p>\n
The report recommends that WHO should share the outcomes of this consultation with Member States in a timely manner given the evolving nature of COVID-19 globally. Member States are encouraged to consider the potential use of TCM for the management of COVID-19 in the context of their healthcare systems and regulatory frameworks; share experiences and lessons, particularly those actively acquired through this organized research programme in TCM and clinical experience from China.<\/p>\n
Yu Wenming, head of China’s National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said China is willing to assist other WHO Member States to strengthen the role of traditional medicine in their health systems.<\/p>\n
As of March 2022, the Chinese Clinical Trials Registry, which is part of WHO’s ICTRP (International Clinical Trials Registry Platform), showed 859 clinical studies of COVID-19 in China. Among these Chinese clinical trials, 213 relate to TCM.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
