The prevention and control of chronic diseases is a major need that urgently needs to be solved in China. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in preventing and treating chronic diseases. However, insufficient patient engagement may be found in the selection and evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. In recent years, patient-centered clinical research has become a hot topic. A patient-centered methodological framework is proposed for the selection and evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine for preventing and treating chronic diseases. It incorporates some patient-centered studies based on the evidence-based medicine practice model, and will provide a scientific basis for screening traditional Chinese medicine for preventing and treating chronic diseases, improving the efficiency of traditional Chinese medicine services, improving price policies, and updating medical insurance catalogs.
