Abstract：The medication timing is an important factor affecting the clinical efficacy of drugs.Selecting the right medication timing is the key to ensure the full play of drug efficacy,as well as standardized and precise medication practices in clinical settings.Although some scholars have carried out relevant clinical studies on the medication timing,there remains a lack of systematic review and summary of its important research significance and key points of scheme design.This paper systematically discusses the concept of medication timing,research significance,understanding of traditional Chinese medicine,types of research design and key methodological points,aiming to clarify the design ideas for clinical research on medication timing,and focus on analyzing the similarities and differences,as well as key design points of different types of clinical studies.This article provides methodological guidance for timely and precise medication in clinical practice and effectively promotes the standardization and accuracy of clinical drug use.
