In recent years, the effects of Gua Sha on fascia have |
|
gradually |
|
attracted attention. This review evaluates the effects of |
|
Gua Sha on fascia and |
|
its underlying mechanisms. We searched major academic |
|
databases for relevant |
|
studies using the keywords "Gua Sha or scraping," "fascia |
|
or |
|
pain or inflammation," and "randomized controlled trial |
|
(RCT)." |
|
Only RCTs published in English were included. Two |
|
independent reviewers |
|
screened and assessed the methodological quality of the |
|
studies using the PEDro |
|
scoring scale. After applying the inclusion criteria, |
|
nine studies involving |
|
436 participants were included in the final analysis. The |
|
methodological |
|
quality of the included studies varied, with PEDro scores |
|
ranging from 6 to 9. |
|
Research results suggest that Gua Sha may help relieve |
|
pain, reduce fascial |
|
inflammation, and increase flexibility. Potential |
|
mechanisms include improved |
|
blood and lymph circulation, neuromodulation, and |
|
mechanical stimulation. These |
|
results highlight the potential of Gua Sha as an |
|
alternative treatment for |
|
fascia-related problems. Further studies are needed to |
|
consolidate these |
|
findings and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. |
