随访气功所致精神障碍以期了解其本质。随访１９８８年至１９９０年诊断的气功所致精神障碍１２例３－５年。３例完全正常；４例再入院，其中１例诊断精神分裂症，１例癔症，２例原来诊断；５例在家服抗精神病药，未定论。气功究竟是病因还是诱因尚难定论。     

气功相关精神障碍患者82例随访对照分析

目的：对气功所致精神障碍与气功相关的精神分裂症的临床特点差异进行探讨。方法：收集在1990年至2000年间连续入院患者中与气功相关的精神病性障碍患者82例，其中住院时诊断为气功所致精神障碍46例，精神分裂症36例。收集两组病例的人口统计学、临床表现等资料并作5年以上随访。结果：气功所致精神障碍（气功组）与精神分裂症（分裂症组）比较，在性别、婚姻、年龄、接受教育年限、起病年龄及病程方面差异均有显著性（P均〈0．001）。获得68例5年以上的随访资料，其中气功组38例，分裂症组30例。至随访结束，气功组中84％（32例）、分裂症组中57％（17例）维持原诊断，二者差异有显著性（P〈0．001）。气功组的精神障碍缓解程度达89％（34例），而分裂症组的缓解程度仅33％（10例），差异有显著性（P〈0．001）。气功组的社会功能也明显优于分裂症组（P〈0．01）。结论：气功所致精神障碍与气功相关的精神分裂症是两种不同类型的疾病，根据临床特点，二者可以鉴别。

A Forty-Five Year Follow-Up EEG Study of Qigong Practice

A follow-up EEG study was conducted on a subject with 50 years of experiences in Qigong. Resting EEG at present showed frontally dominant alpha-1 as compared to occipitally dominant alpha-2 described in 1962. During the Qigong practice alph-1 enhanced quickly and became far more prominent than 50 years ago. Compared with baseline, these activities remained to be higher at rest after the Qigong practice. These results suggest that extended practice in meditation may change the EEG pattern and its underlying neurophysiology. It remains to be explored as to what biological significance and clinical relevance do these physiological changes might mean.     

健身气功锻炼对帕金森病患者的疗效观察

目的探讨健身气功锻炼对帕金森病(PD)患者的临床疗效。方法将41例PD患者随机分为健身气功组23例,对照组18例。2组均给予神经内科基础药物治疗,健身气功组患者在对照组治疗的基础上进行10周健身气功干预,每周5次,每次60min。对两组患者干预前、中、后分别进行起立-走计时(TUG)、单脚闭目站立测试,采用统一帕金森病评定量表-Ⅲ(UPDRS-Ⅲ)、Hoehn-Yahr(H-Y)评分、贝克焦虑量表(BAI)评价运动功能及情绪变化。结果锻炼10周后,健身气功组H-Y分级、UPDRS-Ⅲ评分、BAI评分较治疗前呈降低趋势(P0.05,P0.01),而对照组治疗前后变化无统计学差异(P0.05)。健身气功组TUG计时测试时间在第5周、第10周均较治疗前下降(P0.05),两侧单脚闭目站立测试时间在第5周、第10周均较治疗前延长(P0.05)。结论健身气功锻炼可改善轻中度PD患者运动功能,尤其是患者的平衡能力,对患者的焦虑情绪亦能起到一定程度缓解作用,值得临床推广。     

Qigong for the treatment of tinnitus: A prospectiverandomized controlled study

Objective

Tinnitus is a frequent disorder which is very difficult to treat. Qigong is a mindful exercise and an important constituent of traditional Chinese medical practice. Here we performed a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of a Qigong intervention on patients with tinnitus. We hypothesized that especially tinnitus patients with somatosensoric components may benefit from the mind-body technique of Qigong.

Methods

Eighty patients with tinnitus of at least 3 months duration were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n=40) consisting of 10 Qigong training sessions in 5 weeks or a waiting-list control group (n=40). Tinnitus severity was assessed with a visual analogue scale (VAS) and with a tinnitus questionnaire (TBF-12) before treatment, immediately after treatment, and 1 and 3 months after treatment.

Results

Qigong did not cause any side effects and was completed by 80% of the assigned patients. Compared with the control group, Qigong participants experienced improvement in tinnitus severity, as reflected by a significant reduction in both the VAS and the TBF-12. In the subgroup of patients with somatosensoric tinnitus, Qigong effects were more pronounced, resulting in a highly significant improvement in both scales compared to the waiting-list group.

Conclusion

These findings suggest that Qigong interventions could be a useful complement to the therapeutic management of patients with tinnitus and especially for those with somatosensoric components. Satisfaction with the intervention, a high degree of completion, and stability of the effects for at least 3 months after the intervention further underscore the potential of Qigong in the treatment of tinnitus.     

Effects of Qi-training (Qigong) on forearm blood gas concentrations

Using an ABA' design, the authors investigated the effects of Qi-training on blood gas concentrations with a 20 min control rest period (A), 1 h of Qi-training (B), and a 20-min rest period (A'). The blood partial pressures of oxygen (PO2) and carbon dioxide (PCO2), and oxygen content, oxygen saturation, and pH were significantly altered. The mean PO2 value increased significantly during Qi-training by 14 mmHg (about 24%, p < .01) compared with control A. During Qi-training, the mean decrease in PCO2 was 3 mmHg (about 10%). These results suggest that the practical application of Qi-training may exert a positive regulatory function on physiological status.     

Qigong as a psychosocial intervention for depressed elderly with chronic physical illnesses

Literature uncovers that depression is common in elderly people. The problem is more serious in elderly with chronic physical illnesses. Although the relationship between physical problems and depression is well documented, the underlying mechanism is basically unknown. This article proposed after a comprehensive literature review that depression in elderly with chronic physical illnesses results from disability and a reduction in psychosocial resources. If depression is left untreated, suicide may be a consequence. In view of this, various forms of psychosocial interventions are developed based on mainstream western medicine. The authors argue that qigong, a form of Chinese therapeutics, has the effect of alleviating clinical depression and thus improves quality of life. A simple form of dynamic qigong, namely the Eight-Section Brocades, is suggested to serve the purpose. A theory which explains the psychosocial effect of qigong is hypothesized.
