Abstract It has been over 20 years since the introduction of evidence‐based medicine (EBM) into the research of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The development of evidence‐based TCM research has profoundly influenced the process of clinical research and decision‐making, impelling researchers to pay attention to raise evidence quality, accumulate data, and explore appropriate evaluation methods adaptive to TCM original theories and knowledge. In this paper, the authors aim to summarize and review the existing work and seek promising research interests in this field, expecting to inspire more thoughts leading to breakthroughs in the near future.
