The evaluation of the efficacy of syndrome differentiation and treatment is to use scientific and reasonable methods to objectively evaluate the effect of the doctor's syndrome differentiation and treatment of the patient group. Syndrome differentiation and treatment based on TCM can be roughly divided into two forms: Individualized intervention and special disease intervention. The efficacy evaluation research literatures on syndrome differentiation and treatment in 2013(265 articles) and 2022(281 articles) were compared in this article. According to the PICOS principle, the research progress of efficacy evaluation of syndrome differentiation and treatment was analyzed from the aspects of TCM and Western medicine disease diagnosis, TCM syndrome diagnosis, treatment method, treatment content, treatment time, control group selection, and grouping method. The study found that among different literatures on syndrome differentiation and treatment, although there was a certain degree of concentration in the key elements of efficacy evaluation such as evaluation objects, treatment methods, and grouping, there were also certain differences due to different research purposes, which affected the results of syndrome differentiation treatment efficacy evaluation. Evaluating the curative effect of doctors who control intervention methods in the process of syndrome differentiation and treatment will be the development direction of continuous improvement and optimization of syndrome differentiation and treatment.
