Abstract
BACKGROUND: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is an important factor of causing leg pain and numbness. As a secondary discipline of Traditional Chinese Medicine, tuina is widely used for the treatment of LDH in China even in other nations while its clinical value is not acknowledged universally. So, we focus on this article aims to evaluate its efficacy and safety of LDH. METHODS: Electronic databases involving Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, China Science and Technology Journal, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database will be pertained with appropriate search strategy. And RevMan V.5.3.5 software will be conducted as the assessment tool for bias risk, data synthesis, subgroup analysis as well as meta-analyses. RESULTS: This systematic review will provide a high-quality synthesis of current evidence of tuina for LDH. CONCLUSION: This protocol will determine whether Tuina is an effective and safe treatment method for LDH.
