“…Qigong, a traditional fitness method that originates from ancient China, combines body movement, mediation guidance, respiratory regulation, and so on. The combination of these elements achieves the effect of physical and mental adjustment [ 4 , 5 ]. Furthermore, Qigong may be capable of helping maintain neuroendocrine balance and blood sugar control.…”

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Qigong on type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) using the systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods All prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trials published in English or Chinese and involving the use of Qigong by patients with DM were searched in 7 electronic databases from their respective inception to June 2016. The meta-analysis was conducted using the Revman 5.2. The quality of the included trials was assessed using the Jadad rating scale. Two researchers independently completed the inclusion, data extraction, and quality assessment. Results Twenty-one trials with 1326 patients met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. The meta-analysis demonstrated that, compared with no exercise, the Qigong had significant effects on fasting blood glucose (MD = −0.99, 95% CI (−1.23, 0.75), P < 0.0001), HbA1c (MD = −0.84, 95% CI (−1.02, −0.65), P < 0.0001), and postprandial blood glucose (MD = −1.55, 95% CI (−2.19, −0.91), P < 0.00001). Conclusion The Qigong training can improve the blood glucose status of the type 2 DM patients and has positive effects on the management of type 2 DM. However, future research with better quality still needs to be conducted to address the effects of Qigong on type 2 DM.

“…Of the six RCTs listed in Table 2 , five styles of qigong and five countries are represented, including Eight-Section Brocade/Japan [ 47 ] also known as Ba duan jin/China [ 50 ], KaiMai/Australia [ 48 ], Yi Ren Medical Qigong/USA [ 32 ], qigong relaxing/Japan [ 46 ] and Tai Chi Qigong/Southern Thailand [ 49 ]. The uncontrolled observational studies indicated in Table 3 include Five Element Gymnastics/Taiwan [ 53 ], qigong walking/Japan [ 51 ] and KaiMai/Australia [ 52 ]. The frequency and duration of the qigong exercises varied between studies.…”

“…Unfortunately, uncontrolled studies make it difficult to evaluate the effectiveness when compared to patients following standard care, including diet, exercise and medication, from their medical doctor. Huang et al describes their study as quasi-experimental, but they did incorporate a control group [ 53 ]. The three uncontrolled observational studies identified in this thorough search demonstrated a significant improvement in managing blood glucose levels [ 51 , 52 , 53 ].…”

“…Usual or standard care control groups are used in more recent qigong research studies [ 32 , 46 , 48 , 49 , 53 , 63 ]. All of the RCTs located, including the quasi-experimental study [ 53 ], exhibited a consistent benefits with qigong. A significant decrease in HbA1c levels was detected over a 12-week–24-week period of time.…”

Background: The purpose of this article is to clarify and define medical qigong and to identify an appropriate study design and methodology for a large-scale study looking at the effects of qigong in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), specifically subject enrollment criteria, selection of the control group and study duration. Methods: A comprehensive literature review of English databases was used to locate articles from 1980–May 2017 involving qigong and T2DM. Control groups, subject criteria and the results of major diabetic markers were reviewed and compared within each study. Definitions of qigong and its differentiation from physical exercise were also considered. Results: After a thorough review, it was found that qigong shows positive effects on T2DM; however, there were inconsistencies in control groups, research subjects and diabetic markers analyzed. It was also discovered that there is a large variation in styles and definitions of qigong. Conclusions: Qigong exercise has shown promising results in clinical experience and in randomized, controlled pilot studies for affecting aspects of T2DM including blood glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, weight, BMI and insulin resistance. Due to the inconsistencies in study design and methods and the lack of large-scale studies, further well-designed randomized control trials (RCT) are needed to evaluate the ‘vital energy’ or qi aspect of internal medical qigong in people who have been diagnosed with T2DM.

“…Another common application is to take CMQ as an alternative therapy. Other than supportive function of clinical conditions, as a preventative and rehabilitative intervention, CMQ can also be used to improving and maintaining health, for example to control blood pressure [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] and glycemia [24][25][26][27] , could help build a healthy lifestyle.…”

Background Qigong has a long-term application as an initiative therapy for prevent and cure diseases, as a mindful exercise, it’s unique function of integrate mind, breath and body gets a lot of attention, researches show that qigong practice could adjust brain and heart function. Currently we have limitations on study qigong’s coordinate mechanism between mind and body, existing studies lack of evidence on electrophysiology research.Our object here is to propose a method to evaluate the effects of qigong on mind body adjustment, and to analyse the coordinate function of Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Heart rate variability (HRV) by complex signal process.MethodsA two-arm randomized clinical trial with eighty-four qigong naïve subjects without cerebral or cardiovascular diseases or other severe syndromes will be allocate to either intervention group(n=42) or wait in list control group(n=42). Participants in the intervention group will conduct Three-circle post standing qigong exercise 5 times per week for 8 weeks, while wait in list group will maintain their current lifestyle during 8 weeks period. The outcome will be complexity-based measures of heart rate and EEG signals assessed at baseline and 8 weeks. Multiscale entropy analysis will be used as measures of complexity.ConclusionThis study will be investigate the effects of qigong exercise by EEG and HRV analyse before and after Three-circle post standing practice, and to measure their synergies by complex signal process method. Results of this study may lead to novel biomarkers that help us monitor and understand the physiological processes of brain and heart function and explore the potential benefits of Qigong and will provide a research evidence for qigong’s mind and body synergy function and to direct future clinical treatment.Ethics and disseminationThe protocol has been approved by the institutional review boards of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, where the study will take place(approval number: 2018BZHYLL0109).Trail registrationThis study has been registered with the“Chinese Clinical Trail Registry”, Republic of China, which is a registry in the WHO Registry Network. Register number: ChiCTR-Bon-17010840.
