Evidence-based research in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has made many important achievements and promoted the modernization and internationalization of TCM. The ability to produce research evidence to guide clinical practice in an emergency treatment situation is a major test of the development of evidence-based Chinese medicine (EBCM) when emerging infectious diseases outbreaks. Along with the development of EBCM, TCM has experienced emerging infectious disease events such as atypical pneumonia (SARS), influenza A (HIN1), and corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and the ability of TCM to conduct clinical research in emergency treatment work has been continuously improved. This article provides an overview of the clinical research conducted in TCM to resist emerging infectious diseases in the past, focusing on the clinical research results obtained in the present time of COVID-19 rescue and treatment, and discusses the role of EBCM development to enhance the clinical research capacity of TCM in emerging infectious diseases.
