The ecchymoses had occasionally been confusedwith child abuse; by physicians unfamiliar to Asian cultures.5,6Although the ecchymoses was non-accidental, it was notintentional abuse either
Coining is not intentional abuse. - Is it still considered abuse though?

Camphor toxicityis potentially fatal and may mask the presentation of underlyingdisease
Coining is not recommended for everybody due to the camphor toxicity.

We believe coining therapycould relieve fever to some degree. The pressure strokes causecapillary dilatation which in turn results in heat dissipation fromthe body, a process similar to tepid sponging for relieving fever.
Now I have 2 researchers believing coining therapy is effective (positively) to some degree.

Coining that produced littleMiscellaneousABSTRACTCoining is a technique used in treating many illnesses since ancient times. It is a form of dermabrasion therapy still widely practicedin China and South East Asia. This ancient treatment method is employed to rid the body of “heatiness” or “negative energies”.Coining is associated with serious complications, and has been confused with child abuse by physicians unfamiliar to Asiancultures. Despite the availability of more simple and effective treatment for fever, coining is still widely practiced among Asians.Keywords: Coining, fever, traditional medicine, abuse.Tan AK, Mallika PS. Coining: an ancient treatment widely practiced among Asians.

What is considered doing too little? - It probably depends on which area it's done on.

After the first cycle of Gua Sha intervention, only performance of sensory function measured by the VPT, and peripheral artery disease symptoms by the ABI were statistically significant differences between the two groups (both P values < 0.01), and the total TCSS score and the FPG level were no group differences (P = 0.14, and 0.25, respectively) (Table 3). At the eight-week and 12-week post intervention assessment, Gua Sha therapy significantly reduced severity of neuropathy symptoms, improved performance of sensory function, reduced peripheral artery disease, and better controlled plasma glucose by comparing with the control group (all P values < 0.01) (Table 3). As presented in Table 4, the changes of mean scores of TCSS, VPT, ABI and the plasma glucose levels in the Gua Sha group showed a significant change from baseline to week 12, indicating that Gua Sha therapy induced progressive improvement in the management of DPN symptoms, sensory function, peripheral artery disease and glucose levels.
Results showing a gradual process of how gua sha therapy affected DPN. 12 weeks: reduced severity of neuropathy symptoms, improved performance of sensory function, reduced peripheral artery disease, and better controlled plasma glucose by comparing with the control group.

I take back my word on gua sha being more "gentle"
-
Gua Sha therapy is generally well tolerated, with little or no discomfort
This is another one of the differences between coining/spoon rubbing and gua sha, as coining usually hurts, and gua sha seems to be more "gentle".

Several randomized-control studies suggest coining to be an effective treatment for chronic neck and lower back pain. Immediate pain relief at the treated site may result from increased circulation; thus, the venting of heat may mitigate the effects of the inflammation and pain. However, much remains to be learned about the mechanisms of longer-term pain relief in coining therapy.
Studies suggest coining to be an effective treatment for chronic neck and lower back pain, as the pain relief may result in increased circulation which waters down whatever bad things are happening in the body. But coining still needs to be learned more about.

Comment. Our patient experienced camphor intoxication after cao gio treatment with a traditional balm. Camphor is a volatile, aromatic cyclic terpene that is rapidly absorbed trans-dermally, especially when applied on wounded, open skin.5 Camphor intoxication is usually due to oral ingestion of topi-©2001 American Medical Association. All rights reserved. LETTERS cal remedies for chest congestion, resulting in gastrointestinal (eg, nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress) and cerebral (eg, rest-lessness, excitement, delirium, seizures) symptoms. Severe in-toxication may lead to apnea and coma. Hepatic toxicity rang-ing from mild elevation of liver enzymes to hepatic encephalopathy has been observed6 Clinicians who treat pa-tients from Asian communities should be aware of this poten-tial adverse effect, and should appropriately counsel families who wtsh to apply this traditional remedy.
Conclusion: although coin rubbing is for the most part safe, inhaling the smell of the oil (camphor) can cause gastrointestinal and cerebral symptoms. Higher intoxication might lead to worse symptoms.

Physical examination showed parallel and symmetric ecchymosed streaks on his back, chest, and shoul-ders (FIGURE), but was otherwise unremarkable. Laboratory studies showed low potassium (1.9 mEq!L) and sodium (117 mEq!L) levels as well as elevated liver enzymes (aspartate ami-notransferase, 169 U!L; alanine aminotransferase, 183 UIL). C-reactive protein and serum glucose were slightly elevated (25 mg!L and 148 mgldL [ 8. 2 mmol!L]. respectively). Results of laboratory testing (complete blood cell count, measurement of bilirubin levels and kidney and thyroid function, serological testing for human immunodeficiency virus and viral hepatitis, examination of stool samples, and urinalysis) were normal. Screening for alcohol and illicit drugs was negative. Broad toxi-cological screening using gas chromatography mass spectrom-etry revealed camphor in a urine sample. The patient was treated with supportive therapy. On the third hospital day, he was awake, fully oriented, and the skin lesions had started to heal.
Although the marks from coin rubbing seemed threatening and he smelled of camphor, his body was pretty much normal and showed no outliers in the scans.

parents who applied coining to children have been falsely accused of child abuse
FALSELY accused of child abuse - more lead to my question of child abuse. I'm getting more "not child abuse" than "is child abuse".

This tradi-tional health practice is said to release excess "wind" or energy considered responsible for illness.
Anecdote: Can confirm, was always told it's to release "wind" or the cold from your body, the very thing that contributes to long term muscle sores and short term decreased blood flow.

To summarize: •Alcohol is not used in coining. •Fire is not used in coining. •Both alcohol and fire are used in fire cupping. •The 3-inch nummular areas on the patient's upper back were protected from burns due to the placement of cups, not coins. The patient clearly had cupping done. •Coining is not typically done at the same time as cupping because the surface stretching of press-stroking would dislodge the cups in place.
Refer to this when writing the literature review.

The error: ‘Coining’, Cao gio, Gua sha does not cause burns
Gua sha does not cause burns, but negligent fire cupping does.

battery’, ‘abuse’, ‘pseudo-battery’, ‘pseudo-abuse’
This is where my question lies with abuse in gua sha. "Is it really abuse? Even though I've never considered it abuse, questioning is never a bad thing."

This was due, in part, to language barriers, medical bias and cultural misgivings after the Vietnam war when many southeast Asians emigrated to the West.
Few of the many reasons why gua sha still isn't well known to this day despite being used for centuries.

Biased citation can include or ignore specific resources, exclude contrary evidence or the work of rivals.1 Inaccurate referencing can be ‘…misleading for the reader and initiate circulation of false facts’.1 Citation inaccuracies can diminish research validity.3
Biased citations were included in past gua sha journal articles.

Perimenopausal syndrome most frequently presents with clinical symptoms, which include hot flashes, sweating, urinary stress incontinence, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, insomnia, vaginal dryness, sexual dysfunction, and formication [2,3]. In addition, with disease progression, perimenopausal syndrome significantly diminished a patients' normal quality of life, increased their social distress and emotional embarrassment

Effects of Gua Sha therapy on perimenopausal syndrome
First time I've ever heard of gua sha being used for this, but since the menstrual cycle technically ties in with muscles and bones, I see how it counts.
-
Preliminary evidence supported the hypothesis that Gua Sha therapy effectively improved the treatment efficacy in patients with perimenopausal syndrome. Additional studies will be required to elucidate optimal frequency and dosage of Gua Sha.
"Gua Sha therapy effectively improved the treatment efficacy in patients with perimenopausal syndrome." Will use this as a major finding in review.

In addition, the pooled results displayed favorable significant effects of Gua Sha therapy plus the Western medicine therapy on the MENQOL scale when compared with the Western medicine therapy alone
Does gua sha enhance the medicine? Or does the medicine enhance the gua sha?
-
study participants who received Gua Sha therapy plus Western medicine therapy showed significantly greater improvements in serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone
Combining Western medicine and gua sha, there were overall better effects for health.
