Title of the special issue

Integrative Medicine for COVID-19: Researches and Evidence

Aims and scope of the special issue

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spreading worldwide. China's experience, for controlling of the current epidemic and treating patients, is of signifi cant valuable for other countries to fight  with COVID-19. In particular, traditional medicine therapies, such as prescription decoction,  Chinese patent medicine, acupoint stimulation and Taiji, alone or adding to conventional drug  therapies have been widely used and played a positive role in the mild, moderate and severe cases.  In order to evaluate the effi cacy and safety of traditional medicine therapies, there are hundreds  of clinical study protocols registered in different registries. After the trials are completed, more  evidence will be achieved, which will benefit the generalization and rational application of  traditional medicine therapies. With the purpose of sharing knowledge and experience of traditional  medicines for the treatment of COVID-19, the special issue of Integrative Medicine Research will provide  evidence for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
