Thoracic facet joint disorder is a common thoracic disorder in clinic, inducing pain and discomfort at the dislocated thoracic vertebrae, radiating to pain of the neck and back. The incidence of thoracic facet joint disorder is higher than the facet disorder of the cervical and lumbar vertebrae. Therefore, an ideal strategy to relieve thoracic facet joint disorder is urgently needed. In recent years, massage therapy has been increasingly accepted by thoracic facet joint disorder patients due to its lower costs, fewer unwanted side effects and safety for clinical use. In this systematic review, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of massage therapy for patients with thoracic facet joint disorder.
We will search the following electronic databases for randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness of massage therapy in treating thoracic facet joint disorder: Wanfang and PubMed Database, CNKI, CENTRAL, CINAHL and EMBASE. Each database will be searched from inception to October 2020. The entire process will include study selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment and meta-analyses.
This proposed study will evaluate the effectiveness of massage therapy for patients with thoracic facet joint disorder.
This proposed systematic review will evaluate the existing evidence on the effectiveness and safety of massage therapy for patients with thoracic facet joint disorder.
The results of this review will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication. Because all of the data used in this systematic review and meta-analysis has been published, this review does not require ethical approval. Furthermore, all data will be analyzed anonymously during the review process.

胸段小关节紊乱是临床上常见的胸部疾病，可导致胸椎脱位处疼痛和不适，并放射至颈部和背部疼痛。胸段小关节紊乱的发病率高于颈椎和腰椎的小关节紊乱。因此，迫切需要一种理想的缓解胸段小关节紊乱的策略。近年来，按摩疗法因其成本较低、不良反应较少且临床使用安全，越来越受到胸段小关节紊乱患者的认可。在本系统评价中，我们旨在评估按摩疗法治疗胸段小关节紊乱患者的有效性和安全性。
我们将检索以下电子数据库以查找随机对照试验，以评估按摩疗法治疗胸段小关节紊乱的有效性：万方数据库、PubMed数据库、中国知网、Cochrane系统评价数据库、护理学与健康领域数据库及荷兰医学文摘数据库。每个数据库将从建库至2020年10月进行检索。整个过程将包括研究选择、数据提取、偏倚风险评估和荟萃分析。
本拟进行的研究将评估按摩疗法治疗胸段小关节紊乱患者的有效性。
本拟进行的系统评价将评估现有证据，以证明按摩疗法治疗胸段小关节紊乱患者的有效性和安全性。
本评价结果将通过同行评审发表进行传播。由于本系统评价和荟萃分析中使用的所有数据均已发表，因此本评价无需伦理批准。此外，在评价过程中，所有数据将进行匿名分析。
