Intensive discussions and debates concerning whether we should and how to apply evidence-based medicine (EBM) research in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have arisen worldwide. We always hold the opinion: TCM needs EBM; the evidence from EBM is not limited to randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews; innovative methodological studies are urged based on the characteristics of TCM theoretically and clinically. Based on the methodological training and studies in this area, the authors discussed how to promote the evidence based TCM from five aspects including completing clinical trial procedure, reporting clinical trials according to international standards, reviewing the current clinical studies on TCM systematically, promoting the methodological research and academic exchange and better evidence (knowledge) management.
