ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the Chinese massage therapy for the treatment of infantile anorexia of spleen and stomach type clinical curative effect.Methods 2 to 6 years old anorexia children treated from September 2010 to September 2012 for general treatment and health care in our hospital were randomly recruited into a Qi deficiency of both spleen and stomach group and a Yin deficiency of both spleen and stomach group with 25 cases in each group.Both groups were treated with chiropractic therapy.On this basis,Qi deficiency of both spleen and stomach group was applied point-massage on Weishu,Pishu,and Zusanli; Yin deficiency of both spleen and stomach group was applied point-massage on Weishu,Ganshu,and Shenshu.Results ① The comparison of disease and syndromes:the total effective rate was 92％ (23/25)and 88％ (22/25) in Qi deficiency of both spleen and stomach group and Yin deficiency of both spleen and stomach group separately,showing no significant difference (x2=0.886,P＞0.05); the total symptoms improving rate was 92％(23/25) and 76％(19/25)in Qi deficiency of both spleen and stomach group and Yin deficiency of both spleen and stomach group separately,the difference showing statistically significant (x2=0.625,P＜0.05).② Symptom score comparison before and after treatment:The main symptoms score and accompanied symptoms score before and after the treatment were [(18.32±2.42) ％,(4.12±0.17) points] and [(16.80±3.77) ％,(5.30 ±0.41) points] in the Qi deficiency group and [(18.18±2.10),(4.45±0.30) points] and [(19.66 ± 3.62)％,(6.01 ± 1.02) points] in the Yin deficiency group.Both groups showed obvious improvements in the main and accompanied symptom scores after the treatment (P＜0.01),but no significant difference between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion The treatment of anorexia due to deficiency of both spleen and stomch with chiropractic and point-massage was effective.
ABSTRACT

Methods90 patients with anorexia belonging to spleen yin deficiency type were randomized in to 2 groups, by 1: 1 ratio. According to the age of children, appropriate dose of modified Yiwei decoction (treatment group) and Erbao Granule (control group), 3 times/d, for 4 weeks were given to the children. Clinical efficacy of the treatment group was observed before and after the treatment and compared with the control group. Results(①) symptom scores: Vomiting (0.061±0.024), sweating (0.140±0.004), stool (0.024±0.011), urine (0.026±0.010) in treatment group after treatment, showing statistical significance (P＜0.05) with the control group. ② disease treatment: The total effective rate was 93.3％ and 91.1％ in the treatment group and the control group, the difference was not statistically significant (X2=0.886, P＞0.05). ③symptoms treatment: The total effective rate was 95.6％ and 66.7％ in the treatment group and the control group respectively, the difference was statistically significant (x2=0.625, P＜0.05).
