Methods：A total of 97 CTTH cases were randomly allocated into an observation group （n=52） and a control group （n=45）. Patients in the observation group were treated with EA plus tuina based on pattern identification, whereas patients in the control group were treated with oral amitriptyline and oryzanol. Patients in both groups were treated for 8 weeks. A follow-up was conducted 3 months after the treatment. The intensity, duration, and frequency of the headache were recorded and compared before and after the treatment. Additionally, the patients＇ psychological state and quality of life （QOL） were compared between the two groups. Results：There were intra-group statistically significant differences in headache intensity score, headache duration, and headache frequency after the treatment and during the follow-up compared with those before the treatment （allP〈0.05）; and there were between-group statistically significant differences during the same time frame （allP〈0.05）. The Hamilton depression scale-17 items （HAMD-17） and Hamilton anxiety scale （HAMA） scores were significantly reduced in both groups after the treatment or during the follow-up （allP〈0.01）; and there were no between-group statistical significances during the same time frame （allP〉0.05）. The World Health Organization quality of life-BREF （WHOQOL-BREF） scores were significantly reduced in both groups after the treatment or during the follow-up （allP〈0.05）; and the scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group （allP〈0.05） during the same time frame. The total effective rate was 88.0% in the observation group, versus 71.4% in the control group, showing a significant difference （P〈0.05）. Conclusion：EA combined with tuina can significantly decrease the frequency of chronic tension-type headache, alleviate headache intensity, shorten headache duration, and improve the patients＆#39; wellness. It is better than amitriptyline plus oryzanol.展开更多

Method： Sixty-two cases were classified into five subtypes： diarrhea due to food injury, wind-cold, damp-heat, spleen deficiency and yang deficiency of the spleen and kidney. The manipulations including separating hand yin-yang, kneading the general tendon, pushing spleen-earth, transporting external Bagua, rubbing the abdomen, pressing Zusanli （ST 36）, kneading Guiwei and pinching the spine were applied once a day. Result： After the treatments of 3 to 30, 35 cases got recovery, 21 got marked effect, and 6 got improvement. Conclusion： The infantile tuina treatment is effective for infantile diarrhea.展开更多

The results indicated that abdominal Tuina method of invigorating blood circulation and regulating qi had better effect than the routine Tuina method in treating tension-type headache. Meantime, it is considered that eliminating the immoderate defensive response caused by the process of headache-muscular contraction headache is the academic basis of the marked effect.展开更多
