“…[39] Regarding the Chi Kung training program, significant decreases in anxiety symptoms have been shown in women with breast cancer after performing a Guolin-Qigong modality intervention for 24 weeks. [40] Another study showed significant improvements in anxiety after 9 weeks of BaDuanJin exercises, but this was conducted in a sample of women with chronic fatigue syndrome-like symptoms. [41] However, in another study that examined the effects of another Chi Kung exercise called Wu Xing Ping Heng Gong, the results showed no improvement in anxiety symptoms in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.…”

Background: Menopause is one of the stages in a woman’s life that affects her psychological health, the most frequent being anxiety and depression. In addition, another problem related to this stage is the lack of sleep that causes a decrease in the quality of sleep. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to analyze the effectiveness of a Qigong exercise program on sleep quality, anxiety, and depression in Spanish postmenopausal women. Methods: A total of 125 women were randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG) (n = 63) that carried out a Qigong exercise program for 12 weeks, or a control group (CG) (n = 62), which did not perform any type of intervention. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and anxiety and depression using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results: Women who underwent an intervention program experienced significant improvements for all measured variables, except for the use of sleeping medication and daytime dysfunctions that did not show any significant effect with respect to the group and group × time interaction. Conclusions: After an intervention based on a BaDuanJin Qigong exercise program for 12 weeks, improvements were observed in sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, the total score of the PSQI, anxiety and depression in postmenopausal Spanish women.

“…The Chinese medical qigong (CMQ) is a component intervention with complex effects, and research suggests that it affects physical and mental dynamics. Regulation of the mind and body could act as a complementary prescription for chronic disease rehabilitation, such as cancer recovery, [5][6][7][8][9] poststroke recovery, [10][11][12][13][14] and postoperative recovery, [15,16] to relieve pain and restore body function. Another common application is the use of CMQ as an alternative therapy.…”

Background: Qigong has a long-term application by integration of mind, breath and body to prevent and cure diseases. Researches show that qigong practice could adjust anxiety, the mechanism may found on brain and heart functions. Currently there are limitations on qigong's anxiety-release mechanism study between mind and body, and existing studies lack of evidence on electrophysiology research. Our objective to analyse qigong's anxiety-release effect and mechanism. Methods: A two-arm randomized clinical trial with 144 qigong naïve anxiety subjects without cerebral or cardiovascular diseases or other severe syndromes will be allocated to either a body and breath regulation group (n = 72) or a body regulation group (n = 72). Participants will conduct three-circle post standing qigong exercise 5 times per week for 8 weeks, while the three-circle post standing qigong combined with abdominal breath regulation (TCPSQ-BR) group will combined with abdominal breath regulation. The primary outcome will be the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the secondary outcome will be complexity-based measures of heart rate and electroencephalogram (EEG) signals assessed at baseline and 8 weeks. Multiscale entropy analysis will be used as measure of complexity. Conclusion: This study will be investigate the effects of qigong's anxiety-release by SAS, and will analyze the coordinates of EEG and heart rate variability (HRV) signals before and after three-circle post standing qigong (TCPSQ) practice, and to analyse their synergies by complex signal process method. Ethics and trail registration: The protocol was approved by the institutional review boards of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (2018BZHYLL0109). This study was registered with the “Chinese Clinical Trail Registry” in the WHO Registry Network (ChiCTR-Bon-17010840).
