Our findings provided empirical evidence supporting that Gua-Sha therapy may be used as an effective technique in the management of breast engorgement. By using Gua-Sha therapy, nurses can handle breast engorgement problems more effectively in primary care and hence help patients both physically and psychologically.

Systematic Review Cabbage Leaf
The systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the impact of cold cabbage leaf application on postpartum breast engorgement and pain. After a thorough search of Turkish and English databases, eight studies were included for analysis out of 25,996 results. The pooled results showed that cold cabbage leaf application led to a significant reduction in breast pain, but did not demonstrate a significant effect on breast engorgement. The researchers concluded that while this method effectively alleviates breast pain, further experimental studies are needed to better understand its impact on breast engorgement.

Systematic Review Breastfeeding Gua Sha
In this version of the review, 21 studies involving 2170 breastfeeding women were analysed. A range of interventions for the treatment of breast engorgement were tested. These included: cabbage leaves, various compresses (ginger, cactus/aloe, hollyhock), massage plus cactus and aloe compress, acupuncture, ultrasound, acupressure, scraping therapy (Gua Sha), cold breast‐packs, electromechanical massage, Oketani breast massage, and medical treatments (serrapeptase, protease, oxytocin). Six studies used individual breasts as the unit of analysis making it difficult to evaluate the true effect of the studied intervention. Due to the heterogeneous interventions, we were unable to pool results in meta‐analysis; hence, a qualitative analysis resulted in the following findings.
