Abstract:
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of pediatric Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) plus oral administration of Chinese medication for pediatric anorexia due to spleen failing in transportation. Methods: A total of 94 children with anorexia due to spleen failing in transportation were randomized into an observation group and a control group by the random number table method at a ratio of 1:1, with 47 cases in each group. The control group was treated with modified Bu Huan Jin Zheng Qi San, and the observation group was treated with additional Tuina manipulation of Yun Shui Ru Tu based on the treatment in the control group. After 4 weeks of treatment, the clinical efficacy of the two groups was observed, and the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, serum leptin, neuropeptide Y, and serum zinc and calcium levels were compared. Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 87.2％, and that of the control group was 74.5％. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the TCM symptom scores in both groups decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum leptin level in both groups decreased, and the level in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The serum neuropeptide Y, zinc, and calcium levels in both groups increased after treatment, and the levels in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Tuina manipulation of Yun Shui Ru Tu plus oral administration of Chinese medication is significantly effective in treating pediatric anorexia due to spleen failing in transportation, which can improve the appetite of children and improve the symptoms of anorexia, and the curative effect is better than that of oral administration of Chinese medication alone.
