Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of manual therapy for knee meniscus injuries. Methods We searched seven electronic databases (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CAJ, Wanfang, RISS, ScienceON, and OASIS) to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using the keywords "manual therapy OR chuna OR tuina" and "meniscus injury." Results Eleven RCTs were selected based on the inclusion criteria, and all studies were conducted in China. Five studies were meta-analyzed. The systematic review revealed a positive effect of manual therapy for knee meniscus injury. Low risk of selection, attrition, and reporting bias were demonstrated in all studies. Ten studies had a high risk of performance bias. Conclusions The systematic review reported favorable results using manual therapy for knee meniscus injury. However, this study has several limitations because of the high risk of bias. Further clinical studies and reviews with higher levels of evidence are warranted.

Objectives : The purpose of study was to compare and analyze the effects of the distance Acupuncture and the Chuna on Temporomandibular Disorder. Methods : Clinical studies were done on 31 patients who were treated with Temporomandibular Disorder at Dept. of Acupuncture & Moxibusition of Hospital of Ha-na Oriental Medicine from May 23 2005 to Apr 30 2006. Subjects were divided Into two group, Distance acupuncture group and Chuna group. In Distance acupuncture group, we treated patients with Wijungyug(胃正格) or Damjungyug(膽正格). In Chuna group, we treated patients with Distraction & Translation technique. For evaluating Function of Temporomandibular joint of Patients, we use the Modified Craniomandibular Index(mCMI) before treatment and after 6th treatment. Results : In Mandibular Movement(MM) of patients, the patients of Acupuncture Group were more effective than Chuna group. In TMJ noise(TN) of patients, the patients of Chuna Group were more effective than Acupuncture group. Conclusions : The Distance acupuncture may be better effect on Mandibular Movement and The chuna maybe better effect on TMJ noise.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to explore the trends of Chuna(manipulation) treatment on neck pain and cervical disc displacement. Methods : We set up the two searching strategies and investigated the latest clinical trials on Chuna(manipulation) therapy for Neck disorders and cervical disc herniation through PubMed search. The searched papers were analyzed and the year, journals, article types of literatures were examined. Of the articles, Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) are assessed by Jadad scale. Results : Studies on Chuna(manipulation) treatment to cervical disc herniation were very few. Articles on Chuna(manipulation) treatment to neck pain were relatively more than those of cervical disc herniation. The most frequently published journal was J Manipulative Physiol Ther. The main design of study was RCT. The limited quality assessment of RCT was conducted by Jadad scale and the average Jadad score was 1.73, which indicates low quality in terms of Jadad evaluation criteria. Conclusions : International trends of studies on Chuna therapy of cervical disease is increasingly reviewed. Although this review has several limitations, analyzing the latest trends of studies on Chuna(manipulation) treatment on neck pain and cervical disc displacement is necessary for further studies.

Objectives : This study is to investigate the clinical application of conservative treatment to a patient who has the paresthesia and migration on L-spine MRI. Methods : A male patient, 34 years old, who has paresthesia and migration on L-spine MRI was evaluated after conservative oriental medical and chuna treatment by Visual Analog Scale(VAS), Numeric Rating Scale(NRS), Straight Leg Rasing Test(SLRT), Sensation, MRI follow-up. Results : 1. Visual Analog Scale(VAS), Numeric Rating Scale(NRS), Straight Leg Rasing Test(SLRT), Sense was significantly improved after conservative oriental medical and chuna treatment. 2. Also it was observed that herniated disc was decreased by L-spine MRI follow-up. Conclusions : Conservative oriental medical and chuna treatment can be effective for decreasing pain and improving paresthesia, also decreasing the volume of herniated disc.

Objectives : This study was peformed to evaluate the effect of Chuna Traction, Correction and conservative treatment. Methods : The patient was diagnosed as cervical bulging disc, protrusion and Uncovertebral joint arthrosis through Cervical spine MRI and treated with conservative treatment(Chuna, Acupunture etc.). We measured Visual Analog Score(VAS) and Range Of Motion(ROM) to evaluate treatment effects. Results and Conclusions : ROM of Cervical spine has improved. VAS score was also decreased.

Objects : This study was to report a clinical effect of Chuna Treatment for a patient diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) as Cervical Myelopathy. Methods: In order to alleviate shoulder pain and neck stiffness, the patient was treated by acupuncture therapy, herbal medicine, phamacopucture, cervical traction technique of Chuna treatment and conservative managements. To evaluate the effect of the treatment, Recovery rate of Hirabayashi, VAS(Visual Anlaogue Scale), NDI and ROM(Range of Motion) were used. Lhermitte's sign, Valsalva test, Distraction test, Compression test and Spurling test were carried out. Results: VAS, NDI and ROM were improved and Recovery rate was 100%. Conclusions: Korean Treatment can be effectively used for a patient with Cervical Myelopathy. Further clinical studies are needed to verify the findings.

Objectives : A rare case of dural tear ensuing after a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment leading to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine was found, so we report it. Methods : A 32-year-old woman presented with back and neck pain in 1 days earlier. The patient undertook a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment. After this maneuver, the patient complained of an orthostatic headache with nausea. The patient's headache worsened, and lying down gave the only measure of limited relief. In Brain CT and MRI study, nonspecific finding was detected. In Cistemography study, CSF leakage at lower cervical or upper thoracic area was detected. Results and Conclusions : It is supposed that this patient suffered a dural tear and CSF leakage secondarily due to a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment. From this case, we can understand the etiology of dural tear to some extent and consider the complication of Chuna Manipulation Treatment. In the future, more study, research and prospective trial for complications of a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment is needed.

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of manual therapy on constipation in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods We searched electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CAJ, KISS, KISTI, KMBASE, NDSL, OASIS, and RISS) for randomized controlled trials for manual therapy on constipation in patients with Parkinson's disease. Results Three randomized controlled trials were selected from the online database. One study demonstrated that manual therapy had positive results compared to routine nursing care with western medication. However, two studies demonstrated that manual therapy had no positive results compared to routine nursing care with western medication or western medication when used alone. Conclusions Our systematic review did not verify the clinical effect of manual therapy on constipation in patients with Parkinson's disease. Thus, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the effectiveness of manual therapy for constipation in patients with Parkinson's disease.
