ABSTRACT

ObjectivesTo evaluate the evidence supporting the effectiveness of Chuna manual ther-apy for nocturnal crying.MethodsWe conducted search across the 3 electronic databases (Pubmed, CAJ and Oasis) to find all of randomized controlled clinical trials(RCTs) that used Chuna manual ther-apy as a treatment for nocturnal crying. The methodological quality of each RCTs was as-sessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and nRCTs was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment tool for Non-randomized Study tool.ResultsTwo RCTs and three nRCTs met our inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis showed positive results for the use of Chuna manual therapy in terms of the efficacy rate when compared to medication treatments alone. Positive results were also obtained, in terms of the efficacy rate, when comparing Chuna manual therapy combined with acupoint application therapy to Chuna manual therapy alone, but was not statistically significant.ConclusionsOur systematic review found encouraging but limited evidence of Chuna manual therapy for nocturnal crying. We recommend clinical trials which compare the ef-fectiveness of Chuna manual therapy with usual care to obtain stronger evidence without the demerits of trial design.
