Shared decision making (SDM), as a healthcare service model, requires clinical practice to follow the “patient-centred” medical principle and emphasizes patient participation in the medical decision-making process, which promotes medical equality and improves the quality and effectiveness of healthcare services. However, its methodology has not yet been introduced into the field of Chinese medicine (CM), and there is still a lack of clear guidance on how to implement SDM in clinical practice. This study provided the method of establishing the conceptual framework of SDM in CM, introducing multiple methods according to evidence-based medicine, and conducing an implementation study to explore the applicability of SDM model in CM clinical practice, with the aim of providing references for the application of the SDM in the clinical practice of CM in the future.
