“…Based on the previous research on children with early motor development delay (12), this study further showed that RTPM has a significant positive effect on the neurodevelopment of infants with very early motor development delay, with a total effective rate of 92.2%, which can simultaneously improve gross motor function and fine motor function. Our previous research showed that the earlier the intervention, the better the improvement of motor function (12). The children treated in this study were all neonates and were included in the study based on their assessment results on the day after birth.…”

“…The future neurological developmental outcomes of infants can be effectively predicted through GMs assessment within 4 to 5 months after their birth, so as to effectively intervene as early as possible, and reduce the occurrence of sequelae of motor development delay (2,20). We applied GMs assessment to the study of neonatal motor development, effectively distinguishing abnormal infants from normal infants (12). In this study, according to the results of the GMs evaluation, we intervened at the very early stage, that is, immediately after the birth of the child, and observed good therapeutic effects at the end of each treatment and at the evaluation 6 months after birth.…”

“…However, there are currently few effective treatments for motor delay, and such therapies are predominantly sports-based training and rehabilitation measures. Traditional Chinese medicine has certain effects in this situation, especially acupuncture, massage, and points pressing (12,(29)(30)(31). This method is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.…”

“…It also provides the therapeutic effect of strengthening the brain and improving intelligence. The therapy is safe, non-invasive, and readily accepted by children and their families (12). In our previous studies, we have shown that RTPM has a significant clinical effect on high-risk children with motor developmental delay (12).…”

Background: Particular factors before and after delivery can cause neurological damage to the fetus or newborn. Rougan Tongdu Tuina combined with point-pressing massage therapy (RTPM) can effectively stimulate the meridians and acupoints, and achieve the therapeutic effects of refreshing, resuscitating, and strengthening the brain and improving cognition. In this study, RTPM was used in the neonatal period, and quality evaluation results of general movements (GMs) were used to monitor the effect of this method on neurodevelopmental outcomes of children. Methods: Children who were born in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 1 March 2017 to 29 February 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. All newborns were assessed for the quality of GMs. Children in the RTPM group received RTPM, and the control group received conventional massage and point-pressing. A 20-day period constituted a round of treatment, each round was 20 days apart, and there were 3 rounds in total. The study participants received regular outpatient follow-ups, and clinical neurological examinations and Gesell development scales (GDS) assessment results were used to determine the outcome of motor development.Results: A total of 96 newborns with abnormal GMs were retrospectively included, including 57 (59.4%) males and 39 (40.6%) females. There were 83 cases (86.5%) of premature infants and 85 cases (88.5%) of low birthweight infants, respectively. The Apgar score at 1 min after birth was rated 3-10 points, with an average of 7.4 points. The evaluation of GMs revealed that the indicators in the RTPM group were significantly better than those in the control group, and the number of children with abnormal GMs after each round of treatment was significantly reduced compared with the control group. At 6 months, the GDS score of the RTPM group was better than that in the control group. After the intervention, the total effective rate of the RTPM group was 92.2%, which was significantly higher than the 75.6% of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of RTPM in the neonatal period can significantly improve the neurodevelopment of children.

AimTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of pediatric tuina for allergic rhinitis treatment in children.MethodsThree English, four Chinese, one Japanese, and two Korean databases were searched for relevant literature published till February 2021, and eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included for analysis. Data were screened and extracted independently using predesigned forms. The methodological quality evaluation was performed using the tool of Cochrane bias risk assessment, and meta-analysis was performed through Review Manager 5.3.ResultsA total of 12 RCTs, which included 716 children, were selected for meta-analysis. Compared with Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, Western medicine, and other therapies, pediatric tuina alone or in combination with other treatments had a higher clinical effectiveness (relative risk = 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.08–1.25) in treating children with allergic rhinitis. Pediatric tuina also effectively improved the following signs and symptoms of allergic rhinitis in children: nasal congestion (mean difference [MD] = −0.44, 95% CI = −0.70 to −0.19), runny nose (MD = −0.39, 95% CI = −0.55 to −0.23), sneezing (MD = −0.23, 95% CI = −0.38 to −0.08), and turbinate swelling (MD = −0.26, 95% CI = −0.48 to −0.04); all differences were statistically significant.ConclusionsThe present study provided favorable evidence for the treatment of allergic rhinitis in children with pediatric tuina. However, owing to the impact of research quality, this evidence needs to be validated via strictly designed clinical trials.
