Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To systematically evaluate the effect of conventional medical treatment plus Qigong exercise on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Chinese patients.
METHODS
A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Medline, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Wanfang and China Science and Technology Journal Database until on January 2017. In this Meta-analysis, enrolled were the studies, including experimental group (with conventional medical treatment plus Qigong therapy) and control group (with conventional medical treatment plus diet control or other exercises). Then, the standardized mean differences (SMDs) of fasting blood-glucose (FBG), 2-hplasmaglucose (2hPG), hemoglobinAlc (HbAlc), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL), as well as their 95% confidence interval (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the effect of Qigong on patients with T2DM by RevMan 5.2 and Stata 11.0 software.
RESULTS
Totally 834 cases of T2DM from 11 studies were included in this review. The pooled SMDs with its 95% CIs of FBG, 2hPG, HbAlc, TG, TC, HDL and LDL were – 0.70 (– 0.93, – 0.47), – 0.66 (– 1.11, – 0.21), – 0.73 (– 0.96, – 0.50), – 1.05 (– 1.67, – 0.43), – 0.42 (– 1.12, 0.28), 0.69 (0.19, 1.19), and – 0.26 (– 0.69, 0.18), respectively. The pooled data showed significantly difference between Qigong and the levels of FBG, 2hPG, HbA1c, TG, and HDL in patients with T2DM (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Combining with conventional medical treatment, Qigong exercise might have significant effect on T2DM in Chinese patients.
