Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe application of a static Qigong program to decrease needle pain in Korean adolescents with type 1 diabetes and its pilot test results. The pilot study was a randomized crossover design including 26 adolescents randomized to Qigong or rest group. Participants received a 60-minute Qigong program consisted of warm up, deep breathing, imaginary, and a closing warm up. After 24-hour washout period, treatment assignments were switched. We collected before and after intervention using a self-administered questionnaire, which included the faces pain scale to assess expected and perceived pain during blood sugar testing and insulin injection and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Only expected pain on insulin injection was significantly lower after intervention ( P = .025). The results suggested that the devised static Qigong program was feasible intervention to decrease at least expected pain on insulin injection of adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine ((JEBIM)), published previously as the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (JEBCAM) and also as Complementary Health Practice Review (CHPR). The Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine (JEBIM) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open access, biomedical journal whose aim is to create a global platform for hypothesis-driven and evidence-based research in all fields of integrative medicine. The journal’s objective is to publish papers which impart scientific validity to Integrative Medicine methods that are indispensable and inevitable in today’s world. All papers will be peer reviewed by experts in their respective fields, and papers will be accepted based on their scientific merit. It is the goal of the Journal to help remove the “myth” and provide scientific rationale for the various methodologies and theories of Integrative Medicine. All submissions will be reviewed based on their scientific merit and only papers with sound study design, valid statistical analyses and logical conclusions will be accepted. Topics include, but are not limited to: Traditional Eastern and Western medicine Nutrition therapy and supplementation Massage Therapy Non-traditional treatments Preventative medicine Integrative health and medicine Mindfulness Yoga.
