Chinese Herbal Medicine Formulas

A CONSORT 2010 extension for reporting Chinese herbal medicine formulas (CHM) was published in 2017. While CONSORT extensions for herbal medicinal interventions and acupuncture interventions are available(pre-CONSORT 2010), the reporting of trials of CHM formulas remains inadequate. A group of clinical experts in Traditional Chinese Medicine, methodologists, epidemiologists, and biomedical journal editors have developed a CONSORT Extension for CHM Formulas (CONSORT-CHM Formulas 2017). It is available for download below.
