Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The aim of this study is to analyze the therapeutic effect of external Qigong therapy for treatment of other people`s disease on joint pain.
Methods : We searched articles from Pubmed, Chinese Academic Journals (CAJ) and Oasis online databases. Searching keywords were ‘external qigong’, ‘external qi gong’, ‘qi therapy’, ‘外?’, ‘??’ and ‘기공’. After searching the articles, we performed quality assess-ment using Cochrane risk of bias (RoB) tool and risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized study (RoBANS).
Results : Among the 117 articles were searched, 2 randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) and 2 single-group before and after studies were finally selected. All of 4 studies showed that external Qigong therapy has significant effect on joint pain.
Conclusions : Although external Qigong therapy has therapeutic effect on joint pain, it is not common therapy yet. However, external Qigong therapy requires more interests and studies in the future, because it is faithful therapy for Korean medicine theory.
