“…Many different types of Tai Chi exist, but most consist of movement, meditation and breathing, while concentrating on the mind and maintaining low intensity [19, 20], and further modulate various aspects of the body including the physical, the psychological, mood and spirit [21]. In the theory of Chinese medicine (CM), Tai Chi can maintain the harmony between qi and the blood , keep yin and yang in balance and also enhance immunity [22, 23]. These properties are both important in relieving fatigue and maintaining energy.…”

BackgroundFatigue is not only a familiar symptom in our daily lives, but also a common ailment that affects all of our bodily systems. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have proven Tai Chi to be beneficial for patients suffering from fatigue, however conclusive evidence is still lacking. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed on all RCTs reporting the effects of Tai Chi for fatigue.MethodsIn the end of April 2016, seven electronic databases were searched for RCTs involving Tai Chi for fatigue. The search terms mainly included Tai Chi, Tai-ji, Taiji, fatigue, tiredness, weary, weak, and the search was conducted without language restrictions. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Publication bias was estimated with a funnel plot and Egger’s test. We also assessed the quality of evidence with the GRADE system.ResultsTen trials (n = 689) were included, and there was a high risk of bias in the blinding. Two trials were determined to have had low methodological quality. Tai Chi was found to have improved fatigue more than conventional therapy (standardized mean difference (SMD): -0.45, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.70, -0.20) overall, and have positive effects in cancer-related fatigue (SMD:-0.38, 95% CI: -0.65, -0.11). Tai Chi was also more effective on vitality (SMD: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.20, 1.07), sleep (SMD: -0.32, 95% CI: -0.61, -0.04) and depression (SMD: -0.58, 95% CI: -1.04, -0.11). However, no significant difference was found in multiple sclerosis-related fatigue (SMD: -0.77, 95% CI: -1.76, 0.22) and age-related fatigue (SMD: -0.77, 95% CI: -1.78, 0.24). No adverse events were reported among the included studies. The quality of evidence was moderate in the GRADE system.ConclusionsThe results suggest that Tai Chi could be an effective alternative and /or complementary approach to existing therapies for people with fatigue. However, the quality of the evidence was only moderate and may have the potential for bias. There is still absence of adverse events data to evaluate the safety of Tai Chi. Further multi-center RCTs with large sample sizes and high methodological quality, especially carefully blinded design, should be conducted in future research.Registration numberPROSPERO CRD42016033066

“…( Table 2). The most commonly evaluated treatments included the use of Ginkgo biloba, an extraction from leaves of the G biloba tree (Table 3); acupuncture and moxibustion (Table 4) Additionally, we identified 4 Cochrane reviews, 2 full peerreviewed reviews (Rathbone et al, 2005;Shen, Xia, & Adams, 2014), and 2 protocol reviews (Liu et al, 2015;Deng & Xu, 2016) that focused on TCM treatments for schizophrenia. Cochrane reviews that might have included relevant TCM treatments assessed interventions involving exercise therapy (Gorczynski & Faulkner, 2010), art therapy (Ruddy & Milnes, 2005), dance therapy (Ren & Xia, 2013), music therapy ( "Traditional Chinese medicine" is a concept that is as broad as "Western medicine" and has an enormous number of approaches to treatment.…”

“…Latihan tai-chi dapat diberikan dengan intensitas rendah, terbukti hemat biaya, dan aman (Yao et al, 2022). Mekanisme terapeutik yang mendasari tai-chi berasal dari teori pengobatan tradisional Tiongkok yang terdiri dari teori Yin Yang (Lee, 2018) dan Qi (energi) (Liu et al, 2015). Tai-Chi Chuan merupakan suatu latihan pikiran tubuh (Mind-Body), latihan ditandai dengan gerakan fisik yang lambat, mengalir, dan dikoordinasikan/ diselaraskan dengan pernapasan diafragma, peregangan musculoskeletal, relaksasi, serta meditasi pikiran (Jimmy et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2021), dimana untuk membantu merilekskan tubuh dan pikiran (National Cancer Institute, 2022;Larkey et al, 2023).…”
