ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how effective a combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western medicine is for treating severe pneumonia, which is a serious lung infection. The researchers want to see if using TCM alongside standard Western treatments can help patients recover better than just using Western treatments alone. The study will involve patients from various centers, and it aims to understand the benefits of integrating these two types of medicine.

To join the study, participants must be at least 18 years old and diagnosed with severe pneumonia. They also need to agree to participate voluntarily and sign a consent form. Unfortunately, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with mental health issues that prevent cooperation, individuals taking part in other drug trials, and those allergic to the treatments cannot participate. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but once it begins, those who qualify can expect to receive either a combination of TCM and Western treatments or just Western treatments, and their progress will be monitored throughout the study.
