N1 - Funding Information:
The authors thank all those who contributed to the development of STRICTOTM, both in its draft and final forms. Special thanks to the experts who participated in the Delphi survey and consensus meeting who provided valuable comments for the checklist, and the participants in the pilot test (Supplementary File 5). We also thank the funding supports from Chinese Medicine Development Fund, Hong Kong (No. 19B2/044A_R1), and China Center for Evidence-Based Traditional Chinese Medicine, CCEBTM (2020YJSZX-5). The funders had no role in the design of the study, in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data, nor in the writing of the manuscript.

N2 - Objectives: Massage is a common therapy of nonpharmacological treatments,
particularly in Tuina (Chinese massage) as its most common style,
detailed guidance in reporting the intervention is warranted for its
evaluation and replication. Based on the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards
of Reporting Trials), we aimed to develop an Extension for
Tuina/Massage, namely “The STandards for Reporting Interventions in
Clinical Trials Of Tuina/Massage (STRICTOTM).”Methods: A group of professional clinicians, trialists, methodologists,
developers of reporting guidelines, epidemiologists, statisticians, and
editors has developed this STRICTOTM checklist through a standard
methodology process recommended by the EQUATOR (Enhancing the QUAlity
and Transparency of Health Research) Network, including prospective
registration, literature review, draft of the initial items, three
rounds of the Delphi survey, consensus meeting, pilot test, and
finalization of the guideline.Results: A checklist of seven items (namely Tuina/Massage rationale, details of
Tuina/Massage, intervention regimen, other components of the
intervention, Tuina/Massage provider background, control or comparator
interventions, and precaution measures), and 16 subitems were developed.
Explanations and examples (E&E) for each item are also provided.Conclusions: The working group hopes that the STRICTOTM, in conjunction with both the
CONSORT statement and extension for nonpharmacologic treatment, can
improve the reporting quality and transparency of Tuina/Massage clinical
research.
