Methods: Totally 106 patients with thoracic facet joint disorder were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group based on the random number table. Patients in the control group were treated by tuina manipulation, while those in the observation group were treated by acupuncture at Jiaji (EX-B 2) points before tuina manipulation. Patients in the two groups were treated once a day. The improvements of signs and symptoms and the efficacy were observed after 3 treatments. Results: After treatment, there were intra-group statistical differences in scores of 8 signs and symptoms in both groups (P〈0.01}; the score of each item in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and there was statistical significance in the inter-group difference (P〈0.05). The cure rate of the observation group was 50.9%, versus 26.4% in the control group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P〈0.05). Conclusion: In treating thoracic facet joint disorder, acupuncture plus tuina manipulation can restore the biomechanical balance of thoracic vertebrae, fully maximized the combined effect, and significantly improve the clinical efficacy.展开更多

Methods: Sixty subjects were mainly treated with pinching and pushing the spine, coordinating with the tuina manipulations and cupping therapy based on syndrome differentiation. Results: Among the 60 patients, 40 cases were cured and 20 cases got improved, the total effective rate was 100%. Conclusion: Tuina plus cupping therapy works effectively on infantile cough and without adverse reactions.展开更多

Methods: A total of 93 eligible cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group. Patients in the observation group (n=46) were treated with acupuncture combined with tuina manipulation, whereas patients in the control group (n=47) were treated with tuina manipulation alone. The treatment was done once a day, for a total of 3 times. Therapeutic efficacies were then evaluated according to scores on signs and symptoms. Results: After treatment, there were intra-group statistically significant differences in scores of eight signs and symptoms (all P〈0.01); and the between-group differences were statistically significant in scores of eight signs and symptoms (all P〈0.05). After three times of treatment, the recovery rate in the observation group was 54.4%, versus 25.4% in the control group, showing a statistical significance (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with tuina manipulation can obtain better effects than tuina manipulation alone for thoracic facet joint disorder and is therefore worth further clinical application.展开更多
