Parental Experiences of Administering Pediatric Tuina for Sleep and Appetite in Early School-Aged Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Qualitative Study in Hong Kong

Pediatric tuina, also known as pediatric anmo or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pediatric massage, is a specialized form of massage therapy tailored for infants and children [13]. It is grounded in TCM principles, which emphasize the harmonious functioning of the body’s systems [13]. In ancient Chinese medicine, the term “double yang person” was used to describe individuals exhibiting symptoms of ADHD [14].

AI: Bridging Ancient Wisdom and Modern Innovation in Traditional Chinese Medicine

TCM diagnosis is based on a holistic perspective and involves a comprehensive assessment of both physiological and psychological aspects of health rather than relying solely on objective diagnostic criteria such as molecular markers and physiological indicators. There are generally 4 main diagnostic methods in TCM: inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, and palpation. These facets of TCM have been widely accepted by TCM practitioners worldwide.

Explainable AI Method for Tinnitus Diagnosis via Neighbor-Augmented Knowledge Graph and Traditional Chinese Medicine: Development and Validation Study

Explainable AI Method for Tinnitus Diagnosis via Neighbor-Augmented Knowledge Graph and Traditional Chinese Medicine: Development and Validation Study

Recently, knowledge graph applications have expanded to TCM; for instance, Yang et al [20] built a knowledge graph to extract medical information from TCM case records. Xie et al [21] constructed a knowledge graph using ancient Chinese medical books to infer symptoms and syndromes. Yang et al [22] used electronic medical records (EMRs) to build a knowledge graph, transforming TCM diagnostic issues into multilabel classification problems.

Concerns on Generalizability

Concerns on Generalizability

We read the study by Chung et al [1], which evaluated the effectiveness of a mobile health (m Health) app based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in patients with prediabetes. This randomized controlled trial showed that the TCM m Health app improved physical energy, fitness, and quality of life in patients with prediabetes. However, the small sample sizes, short follow-up time, and multiple comparisons might limit the generalizability of the findings.

A Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Classification Model Based on Cross-Feature Generation by Convolution Neural Network: Model Development and Validation

A Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Classification Model Based on Cross-Feature Generation by Convolution Neural Network: Model Development and Validation

In clinical practice, the effectiveness of TCM has been significant for chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [3] and diabetes [4] as well as for gynecological conditions such as infertility [5] and dysmenorrhea [6]. However, TCM, an empirical product, lacks objective evaluation indicators. The treatment process of TCM is more like a black box, which makes people doubt its reliability, but TCM does manifest advantages in clinical practice.

A Traditional Chinese Medicine Traceability System Based on Lightweight Blockchain

A Traditional Chinese Medicine Traceability System Based on Lightweight Blockchain

The circulation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) must go through a series of processes, from cultivation, fresh product collection, processing, and circulation of prepared pieces to their sale as TCM patent medicines [2]. Because the composition of proprietary Chinese medicines is complicated, drugs are not easily identified by the most direct senses.
