Abstract Objective To determine the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese acupoint massage (TCAM) combined with tailored tai chi multimodal therapy on low back pain (LBP)in patients lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods A total 72 LBP as main symptom were randomly divided into intervention group (IG, TCAM therapy) and control (CG, therapy). Each was conducted three times a week for 4 weeks. The primary outcome Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score, secondary outcomes included Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) effective rate measurements. Changes trunk muscle peak torque (PT) average power (AP) at 60°/s 90°/s isokinetic tests also observed in two groups. Results All data represented mean 95% Confidence Intervals(CI), between-group comparison, it showed that ODI (3.88 [0.5, 7.27], P = 0.026); VAS (8.1 [1.87, 14.34], 0.012), some items SF-36, namely, physical functioning (2.3 [0.96, 3.64], 0.001), bodily (1.11 [0.51, 1.71], general health (1.0 [0.12, 1.8], 0.027), vitality (1.91 [1.2, 2.6], ༜0.001), mental (3.2 [2.4, 3.9], had higher levels improvement IG than CG ( < 0.001). Within-group comparison both treatments significantly alleviated dysfunction improved quality life, consistent (69.44% versus 72.22%, 0.795). PT AP angular velocities mechanical indexes increased compared those 0 Conclusion Both interventions treating improving life LBP. However, single TCAM, particularly states strength. exploratory results could be used complementary alternative caused by LDH.

DEx group performed 6-month combined Yijingjing training intervention, while DC NC remained daily routines. Clinical parameters determined an automatic biochemistry analyzer; inflammatory cytokines quantified by ELISA assay; protein expressions components PBMCs evaluated Western Blot.The resistance, injury activity higher individuals than normal control intervention counteracted this trend, significantly improved sensitivity, reduced inhibited overactivation subjects.

To assess the impact different types TCE and varying durations on KOA patients, we conducted a systematic review meta-analysis randomized controlled trials (RCTs) this topic. Methods: Two investigators extensively searched four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web Science) from their inception until December 16, 2023, to identify all relevant RCTs use for treatment. included studies were assessed risk bias using Cochrane Collaboration Risk Bias Tool (CCRBT), data analysis was performed Stata 15.0.
