Abstract：Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy(CSR)is one of the most common and dominant orthopedic diseases.However,none of the existing CSR guidelines/consensus provide recommendations related to the diagnosis and treatment of CSR with integrated Chinese and Western medicine.To help practitioners in different medical systems to make better CSR diagnosis and treatment decisions,it is urgent to formulate clinical practice guidelines based on evidence-based medicine.This protocol describes the crucial links in formulating the Guideline for the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy by integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine(2023),aiming to provide guidance and outline implementation plan for the scientific formulation of this guideline and promote its standardized,efficient and transparent development.
