Abstract

To observe the clinical effects of tuina plus oral administration of montelukast sodium tablets for children with cough variant asthma (CVA). A hundred and six children with CVA were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 53 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with Tuina therapy plus oral administration of montelukast sodium tablets, and the control group was treated only by oral administration of montelukast sodium tablets. Tuina treatment was given three times per week. 5 mg of montelukast sodium tablets was given orally before bedtime every night. The therapeutic effects were assessed after the treatment of four weeks in both groups. The total effective rates were 92.5% in the treatment group and 77.4% in the control group. The difference in the total effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The therapeutic effect of tuina plus montelukast sodium tablets for children with CVA is better than that of oral administration of montelukast sodium tablets alone.
