Author | Sample | Research and Intervention Strategy | Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|
Vera et al. [11] | 43 health adults were randomized to an active or control group | Experimental subjects underwent daily Taoist Qigong training for 1 month | Statistically significant immune system benefits occurred in the experimental group |
Chen et al. [17] | 112 adults with knee osteoarthritis | External Qigong was applied by two practitioners and compared to sham intervention | Patients treated by healer 2 improved their pain score and function; overall function improved in both treatment groups |
Lynch et al. [31] | 100 participants were assigned to immediate or delayed treatment group | Qigong training (level 1 Chaoyi Fanhuan Qigong, CFQ), was given over 3 half-days, followed by weekly review/practice sessions for 8 weeks; participants were also asked to practice at home for 45–60 min each day | Significant benefits in pain, impact, sleep, physical and mental function occurred compared to wait-list/usual care control group at 8 weeks, with benefits extending beyond this period |
Chan et al. [32] | 150 chronic fatigue patients randomly assigned to experimental or control group | 16 1.5 h sessions of Baduanjin Qigong exercise were held over 9 weeks | The number of Qigong lessons attended and amount of Qigong self-practice were significantly associated with sleep, fatigue, anxiety, and depressive symptom improvements Sleep improvements were maintained at 3 months |
Tsang et al. [33] | 50 chronically ill geriatric patients were allocated to an experimental or control group | Experimental subjects underwent 12 weeks of the Eight Section Brocades Qigong training; controls received standard care | Although not significant, the intervention group expressed improvements in physical health, activities of daily living, psychological health, social relationship, and general health |
Gonzalez-lopez Arza et al. [34] | 30 women 18–25 years of age were randomly assigned to experimental or control group | The Qigong group performed “exercises in 20 figures for health and long-life” (Wang Ziping) for 1 h twice per week, for 4 weeks. The control group undertook no exercise at all | Qigong improved balance in healthy women |
Hwang et al. [35] | 50 distressed individuals were randomized to an experimental or control group | A 4-week stress associated intervention using Qigong was conducted | Experimental subjects showed decreased stress and anxiety and improvements in life quality |
Yang et al. [36] | 43 elderly adults with chronic pain were randomized to an experimental or control group | Experimental subjects received 4 weeks of Qi therapy; controls received standard care | Compared with the control group, Qi-therapy participants showed improvements in mood and psychological variables over the 4 weeks. Pain and psychological benefits remained significantly improved after 2 weeks of follow-up |
Haak et al. [37] | 57 females with fibromyalgia were randomly assigned to experimental versus control group | Nine group sessions of Qigong for 7 weeks for a total of 11.5 h was implemented All subjects were encouraged to practice Qigong, with the support of a free instruction tape, twice a day at home External Qigong was given on 2 occasions The control group were given the same Qigong exercises, once the experimental group had completed their exercise regimen | Pain, psychological health, and distress levels were all improved for up to 4 months in the active participants |
Variable | Experimental Group | Control Group |
