Abstract

|
|
Objectives : This study was conducted to investigate current research trends in Chuna manual therapy for the treatment of anxiety disorders in China.
Methods : Using China Academic Journal and Pubmed, we performed a literature search of studies that were published from 2010 onwards. In total, 15 published studies were included in our analysis.
Results : Of the 15 analyzed studies, nine were randomized controlled trials, two were non-randomized controlled trials, and four were case reports. Of the total patients, 80% were treated daily and received ≤30 treatments in total (excluding one study). In most studies(11 out of 15, 73.33%) , the total effective rate of treatment was used to measure the outcome, with the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale being used most frequently. The case report demonstrated a therapeutic effect > 90%. In the control study, except for the two studies that reported significant improvement in the follow-up period, all of the measures were significantly improved (P<0.05) after treatment compared with before treatment. The An(按) and Rou(?) methods were the most frequently used. The Chuna method is categorized into four types: 1) It is performed around shoulders, neck, and face; 2) performed around abdomen, back, and neck; 3) performed on the whole body; 4) performed at the simply-stimulated acupoints. The most commonly used acupoint was Taiyang (Ex- HN 5), and the most frequently used acupoints were predominantly distributed in the head, face, and neck.
Conclusions : This study demonstrated that Chuna manual therapy has significant effects when used as a treatment for anxiety disorder, warranting further investigation.
