“…As an effective TCM , Tuina can achieve good results in the treatment of the nervous system, 108 sleep, 109 gastrointestinal diseases, 110 dysmenorrhea, 111 growth, 112 cancer, 113 and other diseases. The main mechanism is to promote local blood circulation through the use of point, dial, pressure, beat, roll, and other techniques by finger, palm, or elbow acupuncture on the meridians and acupoints, and to improve the overall function of the body 99,114,115 …”

Background and Aims Cryptozoospermia is an extreme oligozoospermia with an unsatisfactory treatment effect, with an incidence rate of approximately 8.73% in male infertility, whose effective solution has become the call of the times. Western Medicine has achieved certain effects through drugs, surgery, and assisted reproductive therapy, but this is still not ideal. Traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ) has made many achievements in other disciplines; however, there is still a lack of evidence‐based medical evidence to improve sperm production. Methods The relevant literatures from the China National Knowledge Internet ( CNKI ) and PubMed in the past 10 years were collected in this article, of which the mechanisms, advantages, or current controversies of various treatment methods of Western Medicine and TCM were analyzed, to find new treatment methods and research directions. Results With the development of modern science and technology, medical treatments for cryptozoospermia have become increasingly abundant; however, there is still no universally recognized unified and effective guiding plan. Although TCM has not been fully verified by evidence‐based medicine, most TCM combined with Western Medicine can achieve unexpected results. Conclusion The combination of TCM and Western Medicine may become a bane for cryptozoospermia and bring good news to infertile men worldwide.

“…Many of these SRs have investigated the effect of CMT on musculoskeletal disorders [9]. Furthermore, SRs on the treatment of conditions/diseases other than musculoskeletal disorders with CMT have also been published, including conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome [10], stroke [11], and primary dysmenorrhea [12].…”

Background: To provide clinicians with reliable evidence an umbrella review of systematic reviews (SRs) on Chuna manual therapy (CMT) for musculoskeletal disorders was performed to synthesize important outcomes.Methods: There were eight databases (Cochrane, EMBASE, MEDLINE, CNKI, KMBASE, KISS, Scienceon, and OASIS) searched as well as the international database Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews in health and social care until August 2023. SRs of randomized controlled trials involving patients with musculoskeletal conditions, limited to interventions explicitly labeled as “Chuna” or “Tuina” in English, Chinese, or Korean language were retrieved. Two reviewers independently conducted selection and data extraction, and SR quality was assessed using A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews tool (low, medium, or high quality).Results: This review included 32 SRs, categorized by cervical (n = 4), thoracolumbar (n = 7), upper extremity (n = 5), lower extremity (n = 9), and other musculoskeletal disorders (n = 7). Quality assessments determined that three SRs were of “high” quality, two were “low” quality, and the remaining SRs were of “medium” quality. CMT was consistently reported to demonstrate superior outcomes: an effective rate was observed in 17 of 19 SRs, CMT was effective at reducing pain in 12 of the 16 SRs, and functional outcomes of CMT were observed in 8 of 12 SRs. No serious adverse events were reported.Conclusion: CMT may be a safe and effective treatment for various musculoskeletal disorders based on the limited number of studies and the low quality of included SRs.

Background: Researchers are prioritizing the development of an effective treatment approach for third-trimester pregnancy-related low back pain (LBP), a prevalent and costly disorder. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of Tui-Na (TN) versus positional release techniques (PRT) on third trimester pregnancy-related LBP. Methods: Fifty pregnant women in their third trimester with low back pain were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups for 4 weeks of prescribed treatment (TN or PRT). The primary outcome was LBP intensity. Secondary outcomes included the Oswestry disability index for back disability and the pressure pain threshold of lumbar tender points. Two-way multivariate analysis of variance was used for the data analysis. Results: Multivariate tests indicated statistically significant effects of group (F = 10.062, P < .001, partial η 2 = 0.302), time (F = 473.5, P < .001, partial η 2 = 0.953), and group-by-time interactions (F = 4.045, P < .001, partial η 2 = 0.148). However, the TN group, when compared to the PRT group, revealed a significant decrease in back disability (P < .001, partial η 2 = 0.124) and a significant increase in pressure pain threshold at the Rt and Lt points (P = .02 and .001, partial η 2 = 0.055, and 0.108, respectively). Within-group comparisons were significant for all measured variables in both the groups (P < .001). Conclusion: Although both TN and PRT are beneficial treatments for third trimester pregnancy-related LBP, TN leads to more beneficial outcomes.
