“安慰剂”概念与传统中医学潜在矛盾之反思

Reflections into the latent contradictions between the "placebo"concept and traditional Chinese medicine

通过分析现代西方医学与传统中医学采取治疗时所依据的主要方式的不同,探讨现代西方医学的疗效研究依据在对应于传统中医学研究时的匹配性,重新分析"安慰剂"概念的真正含义,对其概念在传统中医学研究中所存有的潜在矛盾进行反思。发现两种医学采取治疗时所依据的主要方式存有冲突。现代西方医学的疗效依据在对应于传统中医学研究时缺乏匹配性。"安慰剂"与"安慰剂效应"概念对应于传统中医学时意义有所不同。"安慰剂"概念只是对应一部分现代西方医学实验研究领域,在将其概念对应于传统中医学研究时所得出的结果与结论应当注意加以斟酌。

The correspondence of modern western medicine efficacy research basis and traditional Chinese medi- cine are discussed through analysis of differences in treatment pattern that modern western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine are based on. At the same time, the true meaning of placebo concept is re-analyzed and the la- tent contradiction of this concept when applied to traditional Chinese medicine studies is given in-depth reflection. It turns out that conflicts exist in treatment pattern between the two medicine theories and efficacy research basis of the two medicine theories lack correspondence. The placebo and placebo effect concepts have a different mea- ning when applied to traditional Chinese medicine. The placebo concept is applicable to just a small field of mo- dern western medicine experimental studies. The research results and conclusions drawn from traditional Chinese medicine studies based on this concept should be given the necessary discretion and criticism.
