Abstract: MedDRA is a widely used coding dictionary for international medical terminology. Since part of TCM terminology has its different naming and connotation from the western medicine, the current MedDRA terminology cannot meet the demand of coding clinical trials of TCM. This article will preliminarily discuss on how to establish the set of terms for coding clinical trials of TCM based on MedDRA terminology.

Key words: traditional Chinese medicine, clinical trial, MedDRA terminology
