Respiratory disorders pose a significant global health concern, especially affecting children with high morbidity rates. Tui Na, a traditional therapeutic method, has been passed down through generations and is widely used for addressing respiratory issues in children. This article aims to conduct a literature review on Tui Na, exploring its effectiveness in managing respiratory health problems in children. The review follows the PRISMA model approach. Six articles meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed out of 117 articles published from 2020 to 2022. All studies, conducted in China, focused on applying Tui Na to alleviate symptoms in children with respiratory disorders. The collective findings strongly suggest that Tui Na emerges as a safe and effective therapeutic modality. It significantly contributes to improving the health status, quality of care, and overall satisfaction for both pediatric patients and their families. This research not only adds to the growing body of knowledge on complementary and alternative medicine, but it also highlights Tui Na as a promising intervention for pediatric respiratory disorder.
