“…BSM stimulates the special regions, meridians or acupoints of the body in the way of combining moxibustion and Tuina subtlely to improve the symptoms and cure the diseases. Some researches indicates that techniques of TCM, such as acupuncture, moxibustion and Tuina has a positive efficacy on ameliorating the symptoms of functional gastrointestinal disorder including IBS, FC, FD [7-9] .…”

Background: Adequate bowel preparation is one of the most important prerequisite during the colonoscopy. It is conductive to detect the polypus, adenoma and early colorectal carcinoma and decrease the rate of overuse of medical resource. BianShi Moxibustion(BSM) is one of the most important Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) treatment options, which is called TCM proper technology. BSM is applied to prevent and cure digestive system disorder widely, including functional constipation(FC), irritable bowel syndrome(IBS), functional dyspepsia(FD) etc. we speculate that BSM can improve the bowel preparation quality through ameliorating the function of digestive tract, especially in high risk of inadequate bowel preparation patients, including elderly individual, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative changes etc. Hence, the objective of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of BSM on the quality of bowel preparation before colonoscopy. Method: This is a randomized triple-blinded , single-center, prospective study. We will recruit 72 inpatients who are scheduled to undergo colonoscopy for screening and diagnostic or therapeutical purposes for the first time will be randomized to assign into treatment group or control group at a ratio of 1:1. The intervention plan in the treatment group consists of 3L polyethylene glycol(PEG) solution plus BSM(Treatment period is 3 days, Qd). In the control group, the plan is 3L PEG plus sham BSM. Boston Bowel Preparation Scale(BBPS) will be used to evaluate the efficacy of the bowel preparation and regarded as the primary outcome measure. The secondary outcomes including caecal intubation rate, the willingness to repeat colonoscopy, the tolerance of bowel preparation regimens, the rate of adverse events. Discussion: The aim of this clinical trial is to confirm the influence of BSM on the quality of bowel preparation. The hypothesis of this study is that the BSM has a positive role on the quality of bowel preparation. The routine bowel preparation regime combines with TCM proper technology will enhance bowel preparation quality and ameliorate the subjective feeling of participants. In addition, it will provide the reliable evidence of bowel preparation prior to colonoscopy from the point of view of integrative medicine.

“…This umbrella review only examined SRs of RCTs on musculoskeletal disorder, however, Chuna is used for a variety of conditions/diseases. Therefore in the future, the SRs for non-musculoskeletal conditions/diseases which included insomnia [52,53], nocturnal enuresis, functional dyspepsia [54], anorexia, allergic rhinitis, constipation [55,56], headache [57][58][59], irritable bowel syndrome [60,61], fatigue [62], hypertension [63,64], and dysmenorrhea [65] excluded during screening in this review can be reviewed. The various techniques of Chuna increase its applicability [66].…”

Background: To provide clinicians with reliable evidence an umbrella review of systematic reviews (SRs) on Chuna manual therapy (CMT) for musculoskeletal disorders was performed to synthesize important outcomes.Methods: There were eight databases (Cochrane, EMBASE, MEDLINE, CNKI, KMBASE, KISS, Scienceon, and OASIS) searched as well as the international database Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews in health and social care until August 2023. SRs of randomized controlled trials involving patients with musculoskeletal conditions, limited to interventions explicitly labeled as “Chuna” or “Tuina” in English, Chinese, or Korean language were retrieved. Two reviewers independently conducted selection and data extraction, and SR quality was assessed using A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews tool (low, medium, or high quality).Results: This review included 32 SRs, categorized by cervical (n = 4), thoracolumbar (n = 7), upper extremity (n = 5), lower extremity (n = 9), and other musculoskeletal disorders (n = 7). Quality assessments determined that three SRs were of “high” quality, two were “low” quality, and the remaining SRs were of “medium” quality. CMT was consistently reported to demonstrate superior outcomes: an effective rate was observed in 17 of 19 SRs, CMT was effective at reducing pain in 12 of the 16 SRs, and functional outcomes of CMT were observed in 8 of 12 SRs. No serious adverse events were reported.Conclusion: CMT may be a safe and effective treatment for various musculoskeletal disorders based on the limited number of studies and the low quality of included SRs.

IntroductionChronic constipation (CC) is a highly prevalent health challenge that is particularly challenging to treat in elderly patients. Although lifestyle guidance and laxative therapy often yield positive outcomes, patients occasionally struggle with maintaining dietary control. Therefore, identifying an economical and safe alternative therapy to the existing treatment methods documented in the international literature is necessary. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of abdominal massage in elderly patients with CC to provide a basis for future mechanistic research.Methods and analysisElectronic searches will be conducted to identify clinical randomised controlled trials in various databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Library, Embase, Airiti Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure Databases, Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and Wan Fang Database. Relevant data will be extracted, and a meta-analysis will be conducted using Reviewer Manager V.5.4. Quality and risk assessments of the included studies will be performed, and the outcome indicators of the trials will be observed. This review will evaluate abdominal massage as a treatment option for relieving symptoms and improving quality of life in elderly patients with CC. Moreover, it will provide additional insights for clinical treatment and mechanistic studies. The search will be performed following the publication of this protocol (estimated to occur on 30 December 2023).Ethics and disseminationAs this is a literature review, ethics approval will not be required. We will disseminate the findings of this study to publications in peer-reviewed journals as well as presentations at relevant national and international conferences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42023408629.
