This paper summarizes and analyzes the current clinical effect evaluation standards of functional dyspepsia. At present

effect evaluation methods applied for Chinese medicine treatment of functional dyspepsia mostly include effect evaluation based on clinical symptoms

on Chinese medicine syndromes

on auxiliary examination results and on scales. The problem is mainly lack of effect evaluation standard which is unified and standardized and reflects Chinese medicine characteristics. The authors consider that a Chinese medicine effect evaluation method

based on clinical symptoms

Chinese medicine syndromes and patient-reported outcomes index scale reflecting Chinese medicine characteristics

should be established. Many detection methods

which can reflect pathophysiological mechanism

should be combined. Evaluation of life quality and mental and psychological status should also be used.Therefore

the clinical effect evaluation system for Chinese medicine treatment of functional dyspepsia might be further perfected.
