“…Of 876 articles identified, seven articles meeting the criteria were included in this systematic review. The primary research studies were published between 2013 and 2019, including four quasi-experimental studies [11][12][13][14] and three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) [7,15,16]. These include studies conducted in China (n = 4) [11,[14][15][16] and Thailand (n = 3) [7,12,13].…”

INTRODUCTION Oriental massage can improve activities of daily living (ADL) and health outcomes in other chronic illness populations, yet similar studies are lacking in stroke populations. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of oriental massage on ADL in patients with stroke. METHODS This study was a systematic literature review and meta-analysis and searched the primary research studies published electronically in Thai and English through five databases: ThaiJO, Thai National Research Repository (TNRR), PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. We analyzed data using RevMan version 5.4 by forest plot graphs. The confidence interval was calculated at the 95% level, and the heterogeneity was tested by Cochran’s Q and I2. RESULTS We identified seven relevant studies that performed ADL on stroke patients after receiving Thai or Chinese massage therapy interventions. We found that Thai and Chinese massage were applied together, emphasizing pressing, rolling, squeezing, gripping, bending, and pulling and herbal compress, which can increase blood flow and reduce muscle spasms. These findings suggest that the duration of massage at 3-weeks and 6-weeks follow-ups can be restored and improve the ability to perform ADL in stroke patients.

Objective: To assess the effect of therapeutic massage for improving sequelae in stroke survivors. Methods: A systematic review of the nine medical databases from January 1961 to December 2020 was carried out. The bibliography was screened to identify randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs). Two reviewers independently screened references, selected relevant studies, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias using the PEDro scale. The primary outcome was upper and lower limb motor function and spasticity. Results: A total of 3196 studies were identified and 18 RCT were finally included (1989 individuals). A meta-analysis of RCTs in the comparison of Chinese massage (Tuina) plus conventional physiotherapy versus conventional physiotherapy was performed. The mean difference (MD) in the subacute stage on upper limb motor-function using the Fugl Meyer Assessment was 2.75; (95% confidence interval (CI) from 0.97 to 4.53, p = 0.002, I2 = 36%). The MD on upper limb spasticity using modified Ashworth scale was −0.15; (95% CI from −0.24 to −0.06, p < 0.02, I2 = 0%).The MD on lower limb spasticity was −0.59; (95% CI from −0.78 to −0.40, p < 0.001, I2 = 0%) in the endpoint. Conclusions: Therapeutic massage, especially Tuina, in addition to conventional therapy is effective for improving motor function and for reducing spasticity in stroke survivors.
