Abstract

:Rotator cuff tear is a common injury among middle-aged and elderly people, and it has a great impact on patients' physical and mental health and quality of life. Integrative medicine based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has certain advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of rotator cuff tears. TCM, which mainly involves the use of plant-based products, has relatively stable and reliable curative effects. It is of great significance to formulate a combined diagnosis and treatment plan for rotator cuff tear based on evidence-based medicine, which can help to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques of TCM and Western medicine and achieve better therapeutic effects. This guideline standardizes the diagnosis and treatment process of rotator cuff tear from the aspects of range, terminology and definition, diagnosis, TCM syndrome differentiation, treatment, functional exercise, and prevention and care. It makes recommendations that cover the adoption of manual therapy, acupuncture, and other integrative medicine based on TCM. Users of these guidelines are most likely to include clinicians and health managers in healthcare settings.
