Diagnostic Criteria for Common Tibetan Medicine Syndromes of Hypertension on the Plateau, T/SDACM 002-2024

Scope

Main technical content: This diagnostic standard provides a standardized scale for the Tibetan medicine syndromes of high altitude hypertension, breaking the long-standing bottleneck of non-standard diagnosis of Tibetan medicine syndromes of high altitude hypertension, and can improve the scientificity of related research, the credibility of conclusions, and promote the exchange and promotion of research results. This research approach and method will provide a methodological reference for establishing diagnostic standards for traditional medicine syndromes, explore scientifically feasible research models for standardized and normative research on syndromes, and has great academic value and application prospects. This study is based on the Tibetan medicine theory of "Five Sources and Three Causes", taking the lack of clinical diagnostic norms as the entry point, focusing on the common symptoms and signs of high altitude hypertension, and aiming at accurate clinical differentiation. It compiles a diagnostic standard for the Tibetan medicine syndromes of high altitude hypertension. On the basis of extensively collecting ancient and modern medical cases and literature, the study systematically organizes Tibetan medicine-related items to build an item pool, draws on the clinical experience and professional knowledge of Tibetan medicine experts, and fully integrates patient symptoms with Tibetan medicine-specific tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnosis, and urine diagnosis. It uses the Delphi method to establish "verification" and "enhancement" syndrome diagnosis scales, and evaluates the scales from multiple perspectives such as reliability, validity, and responsiveness. With the help of clinical epidemiology, it completes the diagnostic quantification and diagnostic trials of common syndromes of high altitude hypertension, and establishes diagnostic models and standards. Under the guidance of Tibetan medicine theory, this study borrows the scientific methods of scale studies
