Abstract

Objectives : This study aimed to explore literature evidence regarding Chuna manual therapy for premature infants and determine its applicability.
 Methods : Eight electronic databases were searched, and randomized control trials (RCTs) applying Chuna manual therapy to premature infants were sought. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was employed to assess the methodological quality of each RCT.
 Results : Two RCTs met the inclusion criteria and were subjected to analysis. Each study compared the usual care group with the pediatric Chuna group. The results in- dicated improvements in nutritional status, a reduction in hospitalization days, and enhancements in growth indicators.
 Conclusions : Chuna manual therapy is worth applying to premature infants. However, evidence is limited due to a lack of well-designed RCTs. More qualified clinical trials are needed to obtain stronger evidence.
