Abstract

Aim: Baduanjin, a Chinese traditional Qigong exercise that focuses on a mind-body integration, is considered to be an effective exercise in promoting health. Thus, we systematically and critically evaluated the emerging literature relating to the effects of Baduanjin on health outcomes.

Methods: We used seven English-language electronic databases for the literature search. At least one health-related parameter was reported in retrievable full-text Baduanjin intervention studies.

Results: A total of 22 eligible studies were included. The inter-rater reliability between two review authors was 94.4% for selecting eligible studies. The results of individual studies support the notion that Baduanjin may be effective as an adjunctive rehabilitation method for improving cognitive functions in addition to psychological and physiological parameters among different age groups and various clinical populations (e.g., Parkinson's disease, chronic neck pain, chronic fatigue syndrome-like illness, psychological illness).

Conclusion: Before we draw a definitive conclusion relating to Baduanjin for health benefits, more methodologically rigorous studies with a long-term follow-up assessment should be further conducted to examine the effects of Baduanjin on health-related parameters and disease-specific measures in different health conditions. This review lends insight for future studies on Baduanjin and its potential application in preventive medicine and rehabilitation science.

八段锦有益作用研究综述。
目的:八段锦是一种注重身心融合的中国传统气功,被认为是一种有效的促进健康的运动。因此,我们系统地、批判性地评估了有关八段锦对健康结果影响的新兴文献。方法:使用7个英文电子数据库进行文献检索。可检索的八段锦干预研究中至少有一个与健康相关的参数被报道。结果:共纳入22项符合条件的研究。在选择符合条件的研究时,两位综述作者之间的评价间信度为94.4%。个体研究结果支持八段锦作为一种辅助康复方法,在不同年龄组和不同临床人群(如帕金森病、慢性颈痛、慢性疲劳综合征样疾病、心理疾病)中,除了改善心理和生理参数外,还可能有效改善认知功能。结论:在我们得出关于八段锦对健康益处的明确结论之前,需要进一步进行更严谨的方法研究和长期随访评估,以检验八段锦对不同健康状况下健康相关参数和疾病特异性措施的影响。本文对八段锦的进一步研究及其在预防医学和康复科学中的应用前景进行了展望。
