AB  - The current clinical efficacy evaluation system and evaluation methods of 
      acupuncture have several limitations, and the application status is not 
      optimistic. According to long-term observation, minimum clinically important 
      difference (MCID) is consistent with the characteristics of clinical acupuncture, 
      and has objective quanti- tative standard and wide applicability. Incorporating 
      MCID into acupuncture clinical efficacy evaluation of tradition- al Chinese 
      medicine can truly reflect the clinical effect of acupuncture and improve the 
      disadvantages and shortcom- ings of acupuncture clinical evaluation, which could 
      provide certain reference for building clinical efficacy evaluation system 
      featured with TCM.
