Background: To evaluate the efficacy of Tuina (a form of Chinese therapeutic massage) combined with complementary therapies (such as auricular plaster therapy, acupuncture, or herbal medicine) on improving weight, body mass index (BMI), and body composition in obese patients.
Methods: A comprehensive search of CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science (from January 2004 to March 2024) was conducted for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Heterogeneity among studies was quantified using the I² statistic, and fixed-effects or random-effects models were applied as appropriate.
