Data were screened and extracted independently using predesigned forms. The methodological quality evaluation was performed using the tool of Cochrane bias risk assessment, and meta-analysis was performed through Review Manager 5.3.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 12 RCTs, which included 716 children, were selected for meta-analysis. Compared with Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, Western medicine, and other therapies, pediatric tuina alone or in combination with other treatments had a higher clinical effectiveness (relative risk\u2009=\u20091.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]\u2009=\u20091.08\u20131.25) in treating children with allergic rhinitis. Pediatric tuina also effectively improved the following signs and symptoms of allergic rhinitis in children: nasal congestion (mean difference [MD]\u2009=\u2009\u22120.44, 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.70 to \u22120.19), runny nose (MD\u2009= \u22120.39, 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.55 to \u22120.23), sneezing (MD\u2009=\u2009\u22120.23, 95% CI\u2009= \u22120.38 to \u22120.08), and turbinate swelling (MD\u2009=\u2009\u22120.26, 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.48 to \u22120.04); all differences were statistically significant.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present study provided favorable evidence for the treatment of allergic rhinitis in children with pediatric tuina.
