To Evaluate the Effect of Pediatric Massage Combined with Comprehensive Management on Growth Parameters and Biochemical Indicators in Children with Short Stature.
Purpose: To investigated the effect of pediatric massage combined with comprehensive management on height improvement in children with short stature.
Patients and methods: This retrospective analysis included medical records of 80 children diagnosed with short stature, who received treatment at Wuhu Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between April 2022 and April 2023. According to the recorded treatment modalities, patients were divided into two groups: the control group received standard comprehensive management (including psychological health guidance, diet, sleep, exercise), while the massage group received additional pediatric syndrome-based massage therapy alongside comprehensive treatment. Relevant clinical indicators-including height, weight, BMI (body mass index), IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1), BA (bone age), 25(OH)D (25-hydroxyvitamin D), annual growth velocity (GV), TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) symptom scores, as well as cortisol, luteinizing hormone (LH), and growth hormone (GH) levels-were extracted from the medical records and compared between the two groups at baseline and after the recorded treatment period.
Results: When comparing both groups of patients before and after the intervention, significant improvements were observed in height, weight, IGF-1, bone age index (BAI), 25(OH)D levels, GV, and TCM symptom scores (P < 0.05). Notably, the massage group showed significantly greater improvements in height, weight, BAI, IGF-1, and GV compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, massage therapy was associated with a reduction in serum cortisol levels and an increase in LH and GH levels, indicating potential endocrine benefits.
Conclusion: Pediatric massage combined with comprehensive management effectively promotes improvements in height, weight, and annual growth velocity (GV) among children with short stature.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of General Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on general and internal medicine, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment protocols. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research and clinical studies across all disease areas.
A key focus of the journal is the elucidation of disease processes and management protocols resulting in improved outcomes for the patient. Patient perspectives such as satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication and their role in developing new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes are major areas of interest for the journal.
As of 1st April 2019, the International Journal of General Medicine will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
