Peripheral Mechanisms of Humoral Immune Effector-mediated Tourette's Syndrome and the Role of Tuina Intervention

Tourette syndrome is a refractory type of tic disorder. Previous clinical studies have confirmed that Tuina has a good effect on TS, but the mechanism of action is still uncertain. Studies have found that the pathogenesis of TS may be related to immune factors, and patients will accompanied by the overflow of inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) during the onset of the disease. Other studies have found that the serum levels of IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgGM, IgGA, IgGE, complement C3 and complement C4 are closely related to the pathogenesis of TS, and the abnormal humoral immune response mediated by food intolerance has an important impact on the pathogenesis of mental illness in children. The immune system plays a very complex role in TS. Based on this, we hypothesized that there may be differences in serum humoral immune effector levels between children with TS and healthy children, whether these differences are related to the consumption of certain allergenic foods or not, and so does Tuina spinal balancing can improve the clinical symptoms of children with TS by changing the levels of inflammatory and immune factors in peripheral serum. This study studied the peripheral mechanism of humoral immune effector mediated by Tourette syndrome and the intervention effect of Tuina through comprehensive scale analysis and advanced laboratory technology, which will provide a scientific theoretical basis and a safe and effective method for the treatment of multiple tics, and will have broad application prospects.
