Chuna Manual Therapy for Pediatric Enuresis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Objectives: To systematically review and evaluate the effectiveness of Chuna manual therapy (CMT) on Pediatric Enuresis. Methods: We searched 12 English, Chinese and Korean databases by using relevant search terms up to October 2017. Every randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of CMT for Pediatric Enuresis were considered for inclusion. The methodological quality of RCTs was assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Results: Eleven RCTs with 1110 participants were included. The meta-analysis of 11 studies revealed that CMT had statistically significant effects for Pediatric Enuresis compared to other medications in terms of effective rate. Safety issues are minor. Conclusions: This systematic review suggests that CMT may have positive effects on Pediatric Enuresis and safe treatment as a non-pharmacological treatment, but evidence is limited. For a better quality review, more and high-quality RCTs with standardized interventions are needed to offer sufficient evidence on the effects of CMT for Pediatric Enuresis.
