In order to further improve the diagnosis and treatment level of spinal "tendon off position and joint sub-luxation", and promote the normalization and standardization of methods and techniques of traditional Chinese medicine, the project was initiated by China Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, led by the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and based on the definition of the latest guidelines of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (IOM) in 2011. In addition, the Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for Spinal "tendon off position and joint subluxation" are planned to be jointly compiled by referring to the WHO Guideline Formulation Manual of the World Health Organization and the TCM Guide-line Formulation Plan of the China Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This protocol will focus on the purpose and significance of guideline formulation, application population, clinical problem construction (PICO priniciple), guide-line formulation process, retrieval strategy, quality evaluation of evidence and recommendation formation process, etc., in order to accept methodological supervision, make the guideline formulation process standardized and transparent, and fur-ther improve the scientificity and rigor of this guideline.
