“…Elles permettent également de libérer dans le sang des facteurs comme les endorphines et l'adiponectine qui font se sentir heureux, joyeux et positif jusqu'à plusieurs heures après la fin de l'exercice et diminuent la douleur (Kiecolt-Glaser et al, 2012 ;McPartland et al, 2014). Au niveau du cerveau, des endocannabinoïdes sont libérés, qui occasionnent un mieux-être et une diminution du seuil de la douleur, permettant ainsi d'améliorer la prise en charge des douleurs chroniques comme c'est le cas par exemple pour le Qi-gong (Marks, 2019) le Taichi (Park et al, 2020) ou la yogathérapie (Michalsen et al, 2012, Sherman et al, 2012, Sutar et al, 2016.…”

“…They also induce the release of factors such as endorphins and adiponectin into the bloodstream that make one feel happy, joyful and positive for several hours after exercise is over and reduce pain (Kiecolt-Glaser et al, 2012;McPartland et al 2014). At the level of the brain, endocannabinoids are released, which cause well-being and a decrease in the pain threshold, thus improving the management of chronic pain as is the case for example for Qigong (Marks, 2019) Tai-chi (Park et al, 2020) or yoga therapy (Michalsen et al, 2012, Sherman et al, 2012, Sutar et al, 2016.…”

La définition des pratiques des arts énergétiques indiens ou chinois se heurte à un double problème, taxinomique et axiologique. Elle est au coeur d'un dialogue des cultures scientifiques d'orient et d'occident qui permet de dépasser le « choc » des civilisations. Dans cet article, nous proposons un bilan d'étape sur les bienfaits de ces pratiques du point de vue des neurosciences et des sciences cognitives, qui pourrait contribuer à réconcilier le mécanisme et le vitalisme, aider à dépasser le dualisme de la matière et de l'esprit, l'opposition qualité /quantité, holisme /réductionnisme... Bref, à marier les paradigmes de la science occidentale et la science orientale pour s'inscrire dans une perspective de sport durable.

“…For example, qigong has been reported to improve body balance and quality of life (QOL) and remediate the pain in the elderly [14], in individuals with chronic pain [15], and particularly in individuals with neck pain [16,17]. Tai chi is also found effective in decreasing pain in individuals with chronic nonspecific neck pain [18].…”

“…Untrained or poorly trained TCMBE may bring some side effects. For example, tai chi may cause knee and Achilles tendon pain, and migraine may occur [22]; qigong may cause muscle soreness, aching muscles, vertigo, headache, nausea dizziness, and physical fatigue if it is not performed correctly [15].…”

Background. Neck pain is common and can have a significant impact on patients’ physical functionality, mobility, and quality of life (QOL). In clinical practice, traditional Chinese mind and body exercise (TCMBE) is a combination of different types of exercise based on traditional Chinese medicine, including qigong, tai chi, the 12-words-for-life-nurturing exercise, and so on, and many studies have found that it is safe and effective at helping patients with neck pain. Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of TCMBE on pain intensity, functional mobility, and QOL in individuals with neck pain. Methods. The PubMed, MEDLINE, PEDro, and Embase databases were systematically searched for relevant studies. Randomized controlled trials reporting the effects of TCMBE on pain intensity, functional mobility, and QOL in individuals with neck pain were included. Screening, data extraction, and literature quality assessments were performed independently by two reviewers. RevMan5.4 software was used for data analysis. Results. Six studies with 716 participants met the inclusion criteria. Compared with the control groups, TCMBE had no therapeutic advantage in improving pain intensity (visual analogue scale: mean difference (MD) = 1.8, 95% confidence interval (CI): −7.70 to 11.46, and P = 0.70); functional mobility (neck disability index: MD = 0.15, 95% CI: −6.37 to 6.66, and P = 0.96; neck pain and disability scale: MD = 1.31, 95% CI: −4.10 to 6.71, and P = 0.64); or 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) scores for physical function (MD = 5.58, 95% CI: −8.03 to 19.18, and P = 0.42), general health (MD = 1.87, 95% CI: −4.99 to 8.72, and P = 0.59), body pain (MD = 2.26, 95% CI: −3.80 to 8.32, and P = 0.46), vitality (MD = 6.24, 95% CI: −1.49 to 13.98, and P = 0.11), social function (MD = 8.06, 95% CI: −4.85 to 20.98, and P = 0.22), role physical (MD = –1.46, 95% CI: −8.54 to 5.62, and P = 0.69), or role emotional (MD = 6.5, 95% CI: −3.45 to 16.45, and P = 0.2). However, TCMBE was less effective at improving mental health results based on the SF-36 survey (MD = 3.37, 95% CI: 0.5 to 6.24, and P = 0.02). Conclusions. Based on the meta-analysis, there is insufficient evidence to support the clinical use of TCMBE in improving pain intensity and enhancing functional mobility and QOL in individuals with neck pain.

“…Dr. Paul Lam, a Chinese physician based in Sydney, Australia, has developed several courses using the Sun style of tai chi to treat arthritis [178][179]. Numerous medical studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of tai chi and qigong on the treatment of anxiety [180][181]227], arthritis [182][183][184][185][186][187][188], attention deficit [189], autism [190], back pain [191][192][193], blood pressure [194][195], cancer [25,[196][197][198][199][200][201][202][203][204][205][206][207][208][209][210][211][212][213][214][215], chronic fatigue syndrome [216], cognitive performance [217][218][219][220][221][222], COPD…”

Tai chi is considered both a martial art and a series of low impact exercises. It is also a tool in the toolbox of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been in existence for hundreds of years. Qigong is also a set of low impact, gentle exercises that have been in existence for thousands of years and is also considered a tool in the TCM toolbox. The present article reviews some studies on the treatment of arthritis that have used tai chi or qigong exercises. The reference section includes an extensive list of publications for further research.
