Qigong may be something many people are not familiar with, but it can provide benefits that make it worth checking out. Pronounced \u201cchi gong,\u201d the\u00a0National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health reports<\/a>\u00a0that it\u2019s a part of Chinese medicine that has been around for thousands of years [1]. The gentle exercise form involves breathing exercises with movement and enhances the body, mind, and spirit. But can it help with chronic pain?<\/p>\n

Numerous studies have been conducted over the years about the benefits of engaging in qigong. Most recently, the practice was put to the test to see if it would help those who have knee osteoarthritis and women who suffer from menopausal symptoms.<\/p>\n

In the first study,\u00a0published in the January 2022 issue of the journal Frontiers in Medicine<\/a>, researchers set out to see if practicing qigong helped provide chronic pain relief for those with knee osteoarthritis [2]. With a group of 50 people with knee osteoarthritis, they randomly split the group into two, with half practicing qigong and the other half doing stretching exercises.<\/p>\n

An assessment was taken at the beginning of the study and again at its end. The participants did a 12-week program that had them do qigong or stretching exercises twice weekly for 40 minutes. They concluded that there was no difference between the groups regarding chronic pain. Still, the qigong group improved psychological well-being, including stress, anxiety, depression, and mood.<\/p>\n

Researchers set out to see if qigong would help reduce menopausal symptoms, including bodily pain, in a separate study. The study included 12 women who had menopausal symptoms, who were divided into two groups, with half doing a 12-week long qigong program. The study is published in the\u00a0February 2022 issue of the European Journal of Sports Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They found that those in the qigong group had a significant improvement in the severity of their symptoms, including their general health, bodily pain, physical functioning, vitality, and mental health.<\/p>\n

Recent research shows that qigong may benefit those who have pain or want to improve their overall well-being. To get started, qigong classes can be found at senior centers, local fitness centers, or online.<\/p>\n
