Since the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been rising in recent years, more and more attention is being paid to clinical trials of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, which is one of the main methods for treating NAFLD.According to the reported clinical trials, consensus needs to be reached on such key points as syndrome selectivity, diagnostic criteria for disease, control of behavior intervention, and establishment of outcome assessment indices.Considering the recent research progress in the world, these issues are reviewed, in order to provide better measures and suggestions for improving the quality of clinical trials of TCM treatment of NAFLD.
