During the treatment, the clinical effects of ZIWU-LIUZHU Tuina were observed objectively and completely to explore an external treatment which had Traditional Chinese Medicine features to treat sub-health bodily symptoms.Methods:The sub-health participants were chosen according to the diagnostic criteria, inclusion criteria, exclusion criterion, and. The participants came from the massage department of Xianlie East of First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of TCM and the outpatient department of GuangDong Provincial Public Security Department of First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of TCM.

The scores before and after the treatment were analyzed and the improve rate of the scores were calculated to evaluate the curative effect. All the data was analyzed by SPSS17.0. The Confidence Interval for Parameters estimates with 95% Confidence Interval. The rank material was analyzed with rank sum test, the measurement material was analyzed with t-test, and the statistic material was analyzed with Chi-square test.Results:1,There was no significant difference in gender, age, and the scores of the somatic symptoms items of the SF-36 Health Survey Scales before the treatment between the two groups. The baseline was basically equal before the treatment.2,The mean of total scores of the somatic symptoms items of the SF-36 Health Survey Scales in the study group was 39.97±1.299 before the treatment.

The total cure rate was 100%. The improvement of the symptoms in the study group had significant difference which meant that the effective of ZIWU-LIUZHU Tuina to treat sub-health patients was very good.4,No matter according to the improvement of the scores of the somatic symptoms items of the SF-36 Health Survey Scales nor the curative effect estimation, there was significant difference before and after the treatment in the study group (P<.05), which was better than the control group significantly.Conclusions:The study proves that ZIWU-LIUZHU TUINA was useful for the somatic symptoms of Sub-health.
