“…Moreover, for the withdrawal of psychoactive drugs, tuina/massage can regulate the opioid system or dopamine system, which is consistent with the mechanism of drug addiction, through the neuro-humoral pathway [37,51]. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture and massage related research, acupoints located along the governor meridian and bladder meridian of the head, such as Yintang (GV29), Shenting (GV24), Baihui (GV20), Tianmen, and Jingming (BL1), are commonly utilized and have been shown to be effective for detoxi cation [52][53][54]. Consequently, our tuina massage approach is based on these studies.…”

Background: Protracted withdrawal symptoms(PWS) play a crucial role in relapse. While medication maintenance or behavioral therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can alleviate these symptoms, their implementation is still limited. Evidence suggests that Chinese tuina / massage therapy can improve mood and sleep quality in individuals experiencing PWS. However, high-quality, evidence-based studies supporting this claim are still lacking. Methods and analysis A prospective, parallel, three-armed, single-center, assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 69 patients at the Sichuan Ziyang Drug Rehabilitation Center (SZDRC). Patients undergoing PWS will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to three groups: CBT+tuina (Group A), CBT only (Group B), and waitlist (Group C). Group A will receive 2 sessions of CBT and 12 sessions of head and face massage for 4 weeks, while Group B will receive only 2 sessions of CBT over the same period. Group C will not receive any intervention during the treatment period and will receive the same compensatory treatment as Group A after the trial.The primary outcome will be measured using the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), and secondary outcomes will include the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Measurements will be obtained at baseline, 1 week after treatment completion, and at the end of follow-up. Data analysis will be conducted by independent statisticians using intention-to-treat analysis. Discussion: This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of CBT combined with head tuina/massage for protracted withdrawal symptoms. Questionnaires will be used to assess the degree of improvement in negative mood and sleep status. High-quality, evidence-based evidence will be obtained to reduce the pressure on the development of addiction treatment. Trial registration number: This study has been registered on Chinese Clinical Trials.gov with number ChiCTR2200058212 and has obtained ethics approvals from the Ethics Committee of the People's Hospital of Ziyang with number 2021-K-LS-2.

BackgroundTai Chi and Baduanjin are nonpharmacological interventions that are widely applied among cancer patients.ObjectiveThis meta-analysis aimed to assess the effect of Tai Chi and Baduanjin on breast cancer patients by summarizing and pooling the results of previous studies.MethodsThe PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library and several databases were searched up to December 1, 2023, to identify high-quality RCTs. Relevant terms such as Tai Chi and Baduanjin were used as keywords. Stata 15.0 software and Review Manager (version 5.3; Cochrane Training) were used to screen the studies, extract the data, code the data, and perform the meta-analysis. The mean differences (MDs) and standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% CIs were used to calculate continuous variables. The Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias. The PICOS framework was used to develop the following eligibility criteria: (i) population - breast cancer patients; (ii) intervention - Tai Chi and Baduanjin intervention; (iii) comparison - Tai Chi and Baduanjin group and different intervention (e.g., regular intervention, routine rehabilitation training, waiting list, sham Qigong, usual care, no intervention); (iv) outcomes - cognitive ability, shoulder joint function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep quality, quality of life; and (v) study design - randomized controlled trial.ResultsFrom January 2013 to December 2023, we included a total of 16 RCTs involving 1247 patients. A total of 647 patients were in the experimental group and were treated with Tai Chi and Baduanjin, while 600 patients were in the control group and were treated with traditional methods. The results of our meta-analysis indicate that Tai Chi and Baduanjin yield outcomes that are comparable to those of traditional treatment methods. Specifically, Tai Chi and Baduanjin significantly increased cognitive function, increased shoulder joint function, improved sleep quality indicators and improved quality of life indicators. Furthermore, Tai Chi and Baduanjin significantly reduced anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and fatigue symptoms among breast cancer patients. Sensitivity analysis was performed, a funnel plot was constructed. No publication bias was indicated by Egger’s or Begg’s test.ConclusionOverall, Tai Chi and Baduanjin are viable and effective nonpharmacological approaches for treating breast cancer patients, as they yield better results than traditional treatment methods. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution due to the limited number of controlled trials, small sample sizes, and low quality of the evidence.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42023469301.
