摘要

不管傳統醫學已經存在和使用了好幾個世紀，而且在最近十幾年又被廣泛的使用，傳統醫學在大多數的國家仍未獲得官方的認定。中醫醫書從靈素之後，一脈相承，但由於年代久遠，醫理治療深奧不易領會，雖已於百年前清代醫宗金鑑於其錯偽者，悉為訂正，並逐條詳加註釋，然而畢竟醫書甚多，不勝枚舉，且有關傳統醫學的安全性和功效的資料方面，質跟量都尚未達到傳統醫學能在世界被廣泛使用的標準。中醫師在各國形成一個醫療照護的專業團體之際，在大眾的期望及法律責任上，都被要求善盡保護病人的責任。因此中醫師要保持好的醫療品質，就需縮小醫學知識和臨床實際處理的不確定性，減少病患就診的不安全性，及強化中醫藥執業的專業性等方面努力，中醫的實證醫學也因此而勢在必行。

The theme of the 2005 Conference was ”Chinese Medicine for the Prevention and Treatment of Contemporary Diseases: an Evidence-based Approach”. Under this theme, four topics (Cardiovascular Diseases, Liver Diseases, Life-Style Related Diseases and Pain) were discussed. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) includes a wide range of therapies. It is best known for the practices of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine but also includes techniques such as massage, moxibustion, dietary advice and breathing exercises. TCM consists of a large body of knowledge with a long history of clinical use. From a holistic viewpoint, a disease is described as the human body manifesting dysfunctional activities and disability in order to copy with the external environment, and is due to the disturbance and disharmony of homeostasis caused by exogenous and/or endogenous pathological factors. Despite the long history and wide usage of TCM, few formulations or therapies have been clinically characterized and this has resulted in uncertainty in the medical profession. Therefore, the main goal of the International Society for Chinese Medicine (ISCM) in 2005 is to incorporate the principles and methods of contemporary evidence-based medicine into the clinical studies and practice of TCM.
