Abstract
Objective—To observe the effect of acupuncture combined with Tuina for infantile diarrhea. Methods—One hundred and twenty patients met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups at the ratio of 2:1, and there were 80 cases in the treatment group while 40 cases in the control group. The patients in the treatment group were treated with acupuncture combined with tuina, while those in the control group were treated with medication. The effects of two groups were compared after a 3-day treatment. Results—The total effective rate was 97.5% in the treatment group, versus 87.5% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After 48-hour treatments, the antidiarrheal effect of the treatment group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion—Acupuncture combined tuina treatment is effective for infantile diarrhea and works fast.
