Transcript

Tuina analgesia is widely used in clinical practice. Our research focuses on the mechanism of action of Tuina analgesia, and investigate how Tuina achieve its analgesic effect. Achieving standardization in Tuina is currently the most significant obstacle.

The effectiveness of Tuina is influenced by several factors such as treatment, area type, intensity, and frequency. The current protocol is optimized in two aspect based on the earlier research. Firstly, the force and frequency of pushing and holding operations were standardized and controlled by force-measuring gloves.

Secondly, the results of imaging and animal behavior test were integrated to assess the results of modeling.

Summary

This article presents a manipulation for treating chronic compression of the dorsal root ganglion in rats using Tuina therapy, along with a method for evaluating its effectiveness based on pain behavior and histopathological results.
