Along with the transition of the socio-bio-psycho-medical mode, important change emerges in the program and criterion of clinical assessment, and the patient-reported outcomes (PROs) has been stressed increasingly. The concept of PROs and its current state of research are introduced in this paper. The authors considered that the PROs researching mode, which takes the symptomatic effect evaluation as the main criterion, could be used as reference for the clinical efficacy assessment of Chinese medicine to create a scale evaluating system with Chinese medicine characteristics, for making its more objective and quantitative. It should contribute to the modernization and internationalization of Chinese medicine extensively.
