Objective
The purpose of this study is to investigate the research about using tuina therapy for depression and to determine its efficacy.
Conclusions
Tuina therapy has a valid therapeutic effect on depression according to studies published in China; if evidence accumulates from high-quality studies, it can be considered a non-pharmacologic treatment for depression in Korean medicine, as well.
