Objectives: The purpose of this review is to investigate the latest traditional Chinese medicine clinical studies on pediatric tic disorder with Tuina treatment and propose the directions of future studies and clinical applications. Methods: To obtain data from CNKI, set the field by ‘中醫學’, ‘中藥’, ‘中西醫結合’ and used keywords ‘抽动障碍’, ‘抽動 穢語綜合’, ‘小兒抽动’, ‘兒童抽动’ and ‘推拿’, ‘導引’, ‘按摩’, ‘Tuina’, ‘massage’ in cross combination way. Results: 12 clinical studies were selected. These studies were analyzed by author & year, subjects, diagnostic criterion, evaluation criterion, syndrome differentiation, treatment period, methods& results, frequent acupoints and assessment of the quality of studies. All of reports achieved effective therapeutic results on the pediatric tic disorder with Tuina treatment. Conclusion: Tuina treatment has a positive effect and are easily accepted by children who have fear and rejection to traditional Korean Medicine such as acupuncture and Herbal remedy. It is also safe and simple to operate. So the Tuina treatment is worthy to disseminate potential for further development in the treatment of pediatric tic disorders.

Oral ulcer is a kind of ulcerative injury that occurs in the oral mucosa and is very common in clinic. In severe case, it can affect the quality of life of the patients. Western medicine treatment of oral ulcer is often prone to relapse, while the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is remarkable.

Abstract Background Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays an important role in contributing to the public health in China. However, non-standardized outcomes in TCM related studies posed great difficulty in data synthesis for healthcare decisions. An agreed set of standardized outcomes, or termed as a core outcome set (COS), can solve this existing problem of outcome heterogeneity. This review aimed to analyze outcome heterogeneity, assess the quality of outcome reporting and providing a list of potential outcomes for COS development of SAP using TCM. Methods 8 literature databases were searched to identify clinical studies about TCM for SAP (SAP-TCM) of yearly samples of 2005, 2010, 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019. 2 clinical registry databases were searched from inception to October 2020. Outcomes definition, measurement methods and time-point were extracted and categorized into 7 themes which include clinical symptoms and signs, physical and chemical examination, TCM-related outcomes, adverse events, quality of life, long-term prognosis and economic evaluation. Timing and quality assessment of the outcomes reported were analyzed and evaluated. Results A total of 1166 studies were included from 12962 potential studies, involving 111426 patients. 231 outcomes were identified and a total of 89 outcomes reported at least twice in the studies. The most commonly reported theme was clinical symptoms and signs. The most frequently reported outcomes were total rate of ECG efficiency and angina attack in clinical studies of published literature and clinical registries databases respectively. Outcomes reported in a single study ranged from 1 to 15, and 5 outcomes on average per study. 80% of the studies lack reporting of primary outcomes. A wide variation of measurement instruments or methods was used. A range of 1–17 measurement time-points were recorded. Quality assessment of outcome reporting was generally low, with 65.6% of the studies scoring 3 to 4 points. Conclusion Outcomes reported in studies on SAP-TCM are heterogeneous. A lack of standardization complicates comparisons of outcomes across studies. Developing a COS for SAP-TCM could contribute to the standardization of outcome reporting and offer a stronger evidence for health decision-making.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is one of the most common chronic diseases in modern society and affects patients’ quality of life to a certain extent. To date, the etiology and pathogenesis of CFS are still not completely clear. Various therapies have been developed, but there is still a lack of specific drugs or treatments. As a kind of adjuvant therapy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has aroused widespread concern about the improvement of CFS. Although a large number of clinical randomized controlled trials have confirmed the therapeutic effect of TCM on CFS, the exact efficacy is still controversial. This article summarizes the clinical research methods and efficacy of TCM in the treatment of CFS over the past five years from the perspectives of syndrome differentiation, external treatment, and combination therapy.

Objectives The principal diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and pulse-taking. Treatment by syndrome differentiation is likely to be subjective. This study was designed to provide a basic theory for TCM diagnosis and establish an objective means of evaluating the correctness of syndrome differentiation. Methods We herein provide the basic theory of TCM syndrome computer modeling based on a noninvasive cardiac electrophysiology imaging technique. Noninvasive cardiac electrophysiology imaging records the heart’s electrical activity from hundreds of electrodes on the patient’s torso surface and therefore provides much more information than 12-lead electrocardiography. Through mathematical reconstruction algorithm calculations, the reconstructed heart model is a machine-readable description of the underlying mathematical physics model that reveals the detailed three-dimensional (3D) electrophysiological activity of the heart. Results From part of the simulation results, the imaged 3D cardiac electrical source provides dynamic information regarding the heart’s electrical activity at any given location within the 3D myocardium. Conclusions This noninvasive cardiac electrophysiology imaging method is suitable for translating TCM syndromes into a computable format of the underlying mathematical physics model to offer TCM diagnosis evidence-based standards for ensuring correct evaluation and rigorous, scientific data for demonstrating its efficacy.
