A CLINICAL INVESTIGATION ON MASSAGE FOR PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF RECURRENT RESPIRATORY FRACT INFECTION IN CHILDREN

The TCM therapeutic principle of "eliminating the pathogenic factors by supporting the healthy energy" was adopted in massage to treat and prevent recurrent respiratory tract infection of children.

As a result, the therapeutic effect of the treatment group is significantly better than that of the controls, with all of the immunologic indexes being approximately normal when the patients were reexamined 3 and 6 months after the massage.
