Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : To determine the effectiveness of Chuna manual therapy for headache
Methods : We searched 6 electronic databases(Pubmed, CAJ, Oasis, RISS, DBPIA, KoreanTK) and 2 journals up to Oct 2015. We included randomized controlled trials(RCTs) using Chuna manual therapy for headache. The methodological quality of each RCT was assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias tool.
Results : 9 RCT studies were eligible in our review. The meta-analysis of 6 studies showed favorable results for the use of Chuna manual therapy. High risk of bias were observed in all studies.
Conclusions : Although there are favorable results with meta-analysis, our systematic review arehighly dependent on the single source of Chinese electrical database, CAJ. Now limited evidence is available tosupport Chuna manual therapy for headache and further well-designed RCTs should be encouraged.
