BACKGROUND At certain frequencies, abdominal naprapathy effectively alleviates functional dyspepsia with spleen deficiency. The present study explored the effects of various frequencies of abdominal naprapathy on gastrointestinal mucosal cells in spleen-deficient rabbits. MATERIAL AND METHODS The model of spleen deficiency was established by the method of bitter cold and catharsis. The rabbits were treated with various frequencies (50 - 100 and 201 - 250 vibrations/min) of abdominal naprapathy.  RESULTS In model rabbits, gastrointestinal mucosal thickness was changed, mucosal epithelial cells were necrotic significantly, a large number of inflammatory cells were infiltrated, and duodenal villus were destroyed. The gastrointestinal mucosal cells had different degrees of regeneration and remodeling under various frequencies of abdominal naprapathy intervention. Among them, the abdominal naprapathy with manipulation frequency of 101 - 150 times/min showed the best effect. CONCLUSIONS The abdominal naprapathy, especially with frequency of 101~150 times/min, repairs gastrointestinal mucosal injury of spleen-deficiency rabbits.
