Objectives : This review aimed to evaluate the effect and clinical utilization of chuna manual therapy (CMT) for constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome. Methods : Literature search was conducted using 12 electronic databases: PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, Ovid, Web of Science, Chinese Academic Journals, KMBASE, ScienceOn, Korea Med, OASIS, KISS, and RISS. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using CMT for constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome treatment were included. The risk of bias of each RCT was evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Results : Seven RCTs met the inclusion criteria. CMT alone and CMT combined with Western medication showed positive result on constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome treatment. Two RCTs that compared CMT alone with placebo medicine showed partially positive results in meta-analysis. However, vasoactive intestinal peptide and cholecystokinin values of these studies were evaluated in an opposite way; thus, meta-analysis of these values were not conducted. Conclusions : CMT may be effective and clinically utilizable for constipation predominant irritable bowel syndrome treatment. However, there is limited evidence due to lack of well-designed RCTs. Further well-designed RCTs are needed for stronger evidence.
目的:本综述旨在评价推拿疗法(CMT)治疗便秘为主的肠易激综合征的疗效和临床应用。方法:利用PubMed、EMBASE、The Cochrane Library、Ovid、Web of Science、Chinese Academic Journals、KMBASE、ScienceOn、Korea Med、OASIS、KISS、RISS等12个电子数据库进行文献检索。仅纳入了使用CMT治疗便秘为主的肠易激综合征的随机对照试验(RCTs)。使用Cochrane偏倚风险工具评估每个RCT的偏倚风险。结果:7项rct符合纳入标准。CMT单用和CMT联合西药治疗便秘为主的肠易激综合征疗效显著。两项比较CMT与安慰剂的随机对照试验在meta分析中显示部分阳性结果。然而,这些研究的血管活性肠肽和胆囊收缩素的价值被以相反的方式评估;因此,没有对这些值进行meta分析。结论:CMT治疗以便秘为主的肠易激综合征是一种有效的治疗方法。然而,由于缺乏设计良好的随机对照试验,证据有限。需要进一步精心设计的随机对照试验来获得更有力的证据。

Objectives : This review was conducted to investigate the evidence of efficacy of manual therapy for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Methods : We searched 10 electronic databases (CAJ [CNKI], CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, DBpia, KISS, RISS, and OASIS) to find randomized-controlled clinical trials (RCTs) investigating manual therapy for FMS. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and score in the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) were analyzed as the main evaluation criteria. Results : Among 273 articles, 254 were screened and 19 RCTs were selected. Only 17 RCTs could be statistically analyzed. Manual therapy was more effective than placebo or sham or no treatment in terms of VAS (p=0.0003). When combined with medication or exercises, manual therapy showed therapeutic effect in terms of reducing pain (VAS) and ameliorating symptoms of FMS (FIQ). However, manual therapy did not show its effect in terms of VAS compared to medication. Lastly, there were no significant difference between manual therapy and exercise in terms of improvements in VAS and FIQ. Conclusions : Effectiveness of manual therapy including CMT for treating FMS was identified. However, this study has its limitations due to the small size and number of RCTs that were included in this study. Nevertheless this study could be a groundwork for well-designed research for CMT for FMS.
目的:本综述旨在探讨手工疗法治疗纤维肌痛综合征(FMS)的疗效证据。方法:我们检索了10个电子数据库(CAJ [CNKI]、CINAHL、Cochrane Library、Embase、PubMed、Web of Science、DBpia、KISS、RISS和OASIS),找到了研究手工治疗FMS的随机对照临床试验(RCTs)。以视觉模拟量表(VAS)和纤维肌痛影响问卷(FIQ)评分作为主要评价标准。结果:273篇文献中筛选254篇,入选19项rct。只有17个rct可以进行统计分析。在VAS方面,手工治疗比安慰剂、假治疗或不治疗更有效(p=0.0003)。当与药物或运动相结合时,手工治疗在减轻疼痛(VAS)和改善FMS症状(FIQ)方面显示出治疗效果。然而,与药物治疗相比,手工治疗在VAS方面没有显示出其效果。最后,在VAS和FIQ的改善方面,手工治疗和运动治疗没有显著差异。结论:确定了包括CMT在内的手工疗法治疗FMS的有效性。然而,由于本研究纳入的随机对照试验的规模和数量较小,本研究存在局限性。尽管如此,本研究可以为FMS的CMT设计奠定基础。

Objectives : To systematically review the effect of chuna manual therapy (CMT) on growth and development of children. Methods : We performed a literature search using eight electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese Academic Journals, Research Information Sharing Service, Koreanstudies Information Service System and Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System) up to the end of April 2023. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that appraised the effect of CMT in the growth and development of children. The risk of bias was evaluated from Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Results : Three appropriate RCTs were included and analyzed. Height and weight of the CMT group was statistically higher compared to the control group. Conclusions : CMT could be effective for growth and development of children. However, evidence were limited due to a small number of studies, lack of well-designed RCT and regional bias. Further well-designed research is necessary to obtain stronger evidence.

Objectives : This case study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Complex Korean Medicine Treatment on cervical dystonia. Methods : Complex Korean medicine treatments were conducted on patients with cervical dystonia. To measure and follow up the degree of cervical rotation and side bending malposition, we analyzed X-ray images filmed at the Atlas open mouth view and C-spine AP view every 2 weeks. Range of motion test was conducted every week to evaluate the functional level of cervical spine. Moreover, outcome estimates were performed using the Tsui rating score, numeric rating scale, and pain disability index. Results : After complex treatment, the degree of cervical rotation and right lateral flexion malposition improved. Pain on cervical spine decreased and functional activities of daily living improved. Conclusions : Our study reveals that Complex Korean Medicine Treatment may improve cervical dystonia. In the future, research with a high level of evidence should be conducted to confirm the effectiveness of chuna manual therapy and Korean Medicine Treatment. Our study is expected to be a theorical and clinical background.

Objectives This study aimed to analyze the medical utilization of low back pain (LBP) patients after back surgery and estimate the medical costs of Korean and Western medicine collaborative treatment, odds ratio, and hazard ratio between the two groups using the 2019 Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service-National Patient Sample (HIRA-NPS-2019). Methods Data management and descriptive analysis, logistic regression, and survival analysis were conducted for defining and estimating the LBP patients after back surgery in the NPS 2019 dataset. Results A total of 216,424 patients out of 991,189 were identified as having LBP. Among the patients with LBP, 1,734 were treated with surgery while 214,690 were not. Among those who had surgery, 937 were treated with conventional treatments only and 797 underwent Korean medicine treatments. The odds ratio of the logistic regression analysis was 0.7129, suggesting that Korean medical treatment experience group had a 28.7% lower risk of reoperation than the Western medical treatments only group. The hazard ratio of the survival analysis was 0.9145; thus, the risk probability of reoperation was estimated to be approximately 8.55% lower. The 50% risk of reoperation was 69 days (0.5044) for the conventional group, and 97 days (0.5008) for the Korean medical group in the survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier graph. Conclusions These results could be utilized in future studies in conducting economic evaluation for estimating cost-effectiveness of Western medicine and Korean medicine treatment compared to Western medicine alone in LBP patients after back surgery in a South Korean perspective. mended and should be applied while taking the necessary precautions.

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the clinical trial trends of Chuna manual therapy (CMT) on gynecologic disease and suggest the effectiveness and safety evidence for further study. Methods We searched nine electronic databases (CENTRAL, CiNii, CNKI, EMBASE, KMbase, KISS, MEDLINE PubMed, NDSL, and OASIS) using the search terms “Chuna” and “Tuina” and identified relevant literature that investigated the CMT as an intervention for gynecologic disease. All relevant papers were extracted and selected to be analyzed. Results Among the 1456 studies that were searched and screened, 18 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) satisfied the designated criteria. A meta-analysis showed that CMT had a curative effect on patients with primary dysmenorrhea, postpartum hypogalactia, breast hyperplasia, postpartum urinary retention, and pelvic pain. Conclusions Based on this study, CMT should be comprehensively considered for gynecologic disease. The treatment response was significantly enhanced after treatment; however, there were some limitations in the study. More well-designed RCTs are needed to ensure that all gynecologic patients have a safe and effective therapy.

Methods We searched nine electronic databases (CENTRAL, CiNii, CNKI, EMBASE, KMbase, KISS, MEDLINE PubMed, NDSL, and OASIS) using the search terms “Chuna” and “Tuina” and identified relevant literature that investigated the CMT as an intervention for gynecologic disease. All relevant papers were extracted and selected to be analyzed. Results Among the 1456 studies that were searched and screened, 18 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) satisfied the designated criteria. A meta-analysis showed that CMT had a curative effect on patients with primary dysmenorrhea, postpartum hypogalactia, breast hyperplasia, postpartum urinary retention, and pelvic pain. Conclusions Based on this study, CMT should be comprehensively considered for gynecologic disease. The treatment response was significantly enhanced after treatment; however, there were some limitations in the study. More well-designed RCTs are needed to ensure that all gynecologic patients have a safe and effective therapy.","PeriodicalId":430318,"journal":{"name":"Korean Society of Chuna Manual Medicine Spine and Nerves","volume":"1668 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127450603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of manual therapy for knee meniscus injuries. Methods We searched seven electronic databases (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CAJ, Wanfang, RISS, ScienceON, and OASIS) to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using the keywords “manual therapy OR chuna OR tuina” and “meniscus injury.” Results Eleven RCTs were selected based on the inclusion criteria, and all studies were conducted in China. Five studies were meta-analyzed. The systematic review revealed a positive effect of manual therapy for knee meniscus injury. Low risk of selection, attrition, and reporting bias were demonstrated in all studies. Ten studies had a high risk of performance bias. Conclusions The systematic review reported favorable results using manual therapy for knee meniscus injury. However, this study has several limitations because of the high risk of bias. Further clinical studies and reviews with higher levels of evidence are warranted.
