Efficacy and safety of Tuina for chronic nonspecific low back pain: A PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis.
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.

OE Journal. 2023;11(10):7 Medicine (Baltimore). 2023 Mar 3;102(9): e33018.Study Summary
15 RCTs with 1390 chronic non-specific low back pain patients were included in this meta-analysis assessing the effectiveness and safety of Tuina therapy. Pooled outcomes of interest included pain, physical function, and quality of life. Adverse events were also assessed. Meta-analyses demonstrated a significant benefit of Tuina therapy on pain (p<0.001) and function (p=0.005). Pooled quality of life was not significantly different between groups but trended in favour of Tuina (p=0.07) and was limited by a small number of included studies and patients. No serious adverse events were reported in the 6 studies that reported adverse event data.
