ABSTRACT
Background:
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a disease that seriously affects children's daily life. Pediatric massage is widely used in clinical practice for the treatment of this disease and has achieved good therapeutic effects.However, the effectiveness, safety, and advantages of this method have not been confirmed by high-quality meta-analysis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of pediatric massage therapy for pediatric AR patients.
Objective:
The aim of this systematic review protocol is to assess the efficacy and safety of Pediatric Massage for the treatment of children with AR.
Methods:
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to Pediatric Massage treatment of Allergic rhinitis will be retrieved from the Chinese or English databases or Clinical Trial Register. These databases include CNKI, Wan Fang, CBM, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Medline, etc. We will consider articles published in English or Chinese. If the inclusion criteria are met, our team will use Revman 5.3 software provided by the Cochrane Collaborative Network to conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis.
Results:
This study will provide a comprehensive scientific evaluation of the efficacy and safety of Pediatric Massage therapy for AR.
Conclusions:
The results of this systematic review and meta-analysis will be published in a peer-reviewed journal, which will provide evidence and reference for clinicians to use Pediatric Massage therapy to treat AR.
