CAM研究人员通常将传统药物视为不变的系统。本文通过检验中医药治疗更年期综合征的有效性来质疑这种方法。这种治疗策略是在1964年发明的,并显示出生物医学思想的强烈影响。虽然他们决定了中医治疗更年期综合征在西方,医生在中国和日本使用许多其他治疗策略,从更广泛的中医传统在临床实践中。更年期综合征表现的文化差异进一步质疑简单地从中国引进治疗策略到西方的有用性。因此,我认为中医药是不能以临床研究来评估的。我们可以做的是利用中医作为思考疾病的资源,并制定临床干预措施,然后使用循证研究方法进行评估。
CAM researchers commonly treat traditional medicines as unchanging systems. This article questions the validity of this approach by examining the treatment of menopausal syndrome by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Such treatment strategies were invented in 1964 and betray a strong influence of biomedical thinking. While they determine TCM treatment of menopausal syndrome in the West, physicians in China and Japan use many other treatment strategies from within the wider Chinese medical tradition in clinical practice. Cultural variability in the manifestation of menopausal syndrome furthermore questions the usefulness of simply importing treatment strategies from China to the West. This leads me to conclude that Chinese medicine as such can never be evaluated by means of clinical research. What we can do is use Chinese medicine as a resource for thinking about illness, and for formulating clinical interventions that may then be assessed using methods of evidence based research.
