Abstract

Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) relies on a complex diagnostic system, materia medica, and herbal formulary. Case reports have long been used in China in CHM, but this tradition is less common in the West, partly due to an absence of case reporting guidelines specific to the discipline. This study, involving practitioner focus groups, content analysis, and a Delphi survey with international experts, aimed to create CHM case report guidelines to help practitioners create structured and comprehensive herbal case reports. The result was the identification of key elements for a CHM case report checklist and guidelines offering robust recommendations tailored to the CHM practitioner.
