Abstract

Objectives : To assess the effectiveness of Chuna manual therapy in patients with Tourette's syndrome.
 Methods : We queried nine electronic databases using the keywords “Tourette's Syndrome” and “tuina OR chuna” to identify RCTs that investigated the effectiveness of Chuna manual therapy in patients with Tourette's syndrome.
 Results : Thirteen RCTs were selected according to the inclusion criteria. A system- atic review showed that Chuna manual therapy can have a curative effect on patients with Tourette's syndrome.
 Conclusions : In this study, 13 RCTs reported that Chuna manual therapy was effec- tive for Tourette's syndrome. These findings provide a basis for its clinical use. However, all studies involved populations belonging to the same country. Many stud- ies lacked details of the research methodology. Therefore, further studies are re- quired to produce high-quality evidence.
