從網路查詢中探討“推拿”的發展現狀

推拿是中醫傳統療法的一環，是華人地區常見的醫療行為，亦屬於徒手治療的另類療法。一般工作從業人員常以按摩、推拿、復健、整復等等稱之，我們嘗試在學術期刊或網路網站中查詢，統計「推拿」等專業名詞的使用情況並探討其現象。調查發現自1998年來，推拿與按摩在中華博碩士期刊(CDRCD)中出現比例為0.428%及2.459%；在大陸期刊(CHINABASE-MED)中出現比例為0.886%及1.274%。Entrez PubMed資料庫中Massage、Tuina和Acupuncture出現的比重為0.0497%、0.0003%和0.0781%。調查顯示在台灣，「按摩」較為多數人使用；在中國大陸地區，「推拿」顯然是比較常見的專業術語。然而在非華人地區的世界各地，massage的使用顯然較為常見。本調查研究顯示「推拿」與「Tuina」要成為專業工作人員常用的專業術語，需要同業同道進一步的努力。

Tuina or massage is a traditional therapy of the Chinese medicine, and also a familiar medical behavior in Chinese people's region, belonging to a curative manipulation of alternative therapy. The general work staffs usually call the skill as the massage, the tuina, or the rehabilitation, and the osteopathy etc. We try to search the formal vocabulary from the academic periodicals or the network website and to statistic those popular trends of used academic diction, which mentioned above such as tuina, to research its phenomenon. The investigation has been found that the apparent percentage of tuina and massage were 0.428% and 2.459% in the CDRCD since 1998, and besides shown 0.886% and 1.274% in the CHINABASE-MED. Those percentages of Massage, Tuina and the Acupuncture are separately 0.0497%, 0.0003% and 0.0781% in the database of Entrez PubMed. Obviously, it points out that the ”massage” is more common and popular in Taiwan. And compared to in Mainland China, the ”tuina” is the more familiar academic diction to local people. However, in the non-chinese people's regions of the entire world, the usage of massage is more popular and familiar than other calls. From this study showing, we can tell that if we want to replace the name of ”Tuina” as the common academic diction, there are still a lot of works to make further.
