Abstract
Pediatric Tuina is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, but the operation technical standard is less developed. It is favored by TCM practitioners in China and abroad, due to its simple operation and clinical effects. The specific acupoint of pediatric tuina is the core of its therapy, but due to the numerous schools of pediatric tuina in China, the consensus of location and operation on some specific acupoints have not been reached. To meet the clinical practice needs of pediatric tuina practitioners and follow the evidence-based principles, we determined to develop International Pediatric Tuina Specific Acupoints and Operation Technical standaeds, considering the diversity of pediatric tuina schools. We hope to lay a foundation for evidence-based practice, trials design and guidelines development of pediatric tuina.
Key words:
