Objectives
This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of chuna manipulation therapy (CMT) for restless legs syndrome(RLS).
Methods
Through MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, KMbase, OASIS, ScienceOn, KISS, CNKI and Wanfang, we conducted comprehensive search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing CMT for RLS up to December 4, 2024. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool.
Results
Among the 11 RCTs, 9 RCTs that reported international restless legs syndrome (IRLS), Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI), and total effective rate (TER) were included in the meta-analysis. CMT combined with Korean medicine treatment (KM) showed a statistically significant improvement in IRLS and TER compared with Western medicine (WM) for primary RLS. And CMT combined with KM showed statistically significant improvement in IRLS, PSQI, and TER compared to conservative treatment for secondary RLS.
Conclusions
CMT may be an effective treatment for RLS. However, the quality of evidence of the studies was low and there are some uncertainties due to heterogeneity in studies. Further studies such as high-quality, well-designed RCTs are needed to support effects of CMT for RLS.
