The existing guidelines and expert consensus on Traditional Chinese Medicine (#TCM) nursing technology for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are few and not prominent. The relevant systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials lack scientific quality evaluation resulting in a lack of systematic and standardized evidence-based evidence of TCM nursing technology in clinical practice. Therefore, this study aimed to systematically evaluate and summarize the best evidence to provide an evidence-based platform for clinical practice. According to the “6S” evidence model, the clinical decisions, guidelines, expert consensus, evidence summary and systematic review related to TCM nursing technology for patients with CFS were systematically searched in UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and other Chinese and English databases and guideline networks. The retrieval time limit was from establishment of the database until March 2024. A total of 12 articles were included, including 1 clinical decision, 3 guidelines, 7 systematic reviews and 1 expert consensus. The 27 best pieces of evidences were summarized from 6 aspects, such as acupoint massage, traditional Chinese mind-body exercises, 5-element music therapy, dietetic therapy, acupuncture and moxibustion, and acupoint application. This study summarized the best evidence of TCM nursing technology for CFS, and provided a reference for clinical practice. Nursing staff should choose the evidence according to clinical practice to provide safe, scientific and effective individualized TCM nursing programs for patients with CFS and improve the quality of nursing.
