T/CACM 1318.23-2019 Guidelines for Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Common Diseases of the Digestive System Part 23: (Acute and Chronic) Gallbladder Inflammation and Gallstones (Basic Level Doctor Version)
Basic Information
Scope
Main technical content: Acute and chronic cholecystitis and gallstones are common clinical diseases of the digestive system. In mild cases, they affect patients' quality of life, and in severe cases, they may be life-threatening. Therefore, they are receiving increasing attention in clinical practice. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of treating cholecystitis and gallstones. Due to the particularity of TCM inheritance and the individualized nature of TCM treatment, it is difficult to obtain high-level evidence-based medical evidence similar to that of modern medicine for the clinical efficacy evaluation of TCM treatment of cholecystitis and gallstones. However, its clinical efficacy should be confirmed. This guideline follows the methodology and process of international clinical practice guidelines, and under the guidance of relevant laws, regulations, and technical documents, it is based on the best available evidence and fully integrates the clinical experts' experience to formulate clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic cholecystitis and gallstones, providing guidance for clinicians and improving clinical efficacy.
