Comparison Of Clinical Effects Of Two Different Methods Of Spleen Acupoint Centripetal Therapy For Children With Stagnation

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of centripetal infantile tuina in pitu point with different position in treatment of children with food stagnation.Methods:60 infants with food stagnation were chosen for the study, randomly divided into thread surface of thumb group (30 cases) and radial lateral of thumb group (30 cases). Both groups received the same manipulation of infantile centripetal tuina and was assessed at 2-week after treatment for clinical effect including appetite, defecate character, coated tongue.Result:1. At the end of the treatment, in the thread surface of thumb group, 7 cases were cured,6 cases were markedly improvd,15 cases improved,2 case ineffective, the total effective rate was 93.33%. In the radial lateral of thumb group,5 cases were cured,6 cases were markedly improvd, 15 cases improved,3 case ineffective, the total effective rate was 90.00%.2. thread surface of thumb group was more effect than radial lateral of thumb group for the therapy of foul breath (P<0.05)Conclusion:1. infantile centripetal tuina in both the thread surface of thumb and the radial lateral of thumb has the similar efficacy in children with food stagnation.2. infantile tuina therapy has a significant effect in treatment of infants with food stagnation. This is worthwhile promotion.
