OBJECTIVES
This pilot study examined the feasibility, preliminary efficacy, and determined the effect sizes of external qigong therapy (EQT) in reducing cue-elicited cocaine craving and associated symptoms among recently abstinent cocaine-dependent (CD) individuals.
METHODS
This study randomized 101 CD subjects to either a real EQT (n=51) or sham EQT control (n=50) group. Subjects underwent a baseline assessment and a weekly cue-exposure session for 2 weeks. Total EQT or sham treatments ranged from 4 to 6 sessions in 2 weeks.
RESULTS
EQT-treated subjects displayed a greater reduction in cue-elicited craving (p=0.06) and symptoms of depression (p<0.05) with medium effect sizes.
CONCLUSIONS
This study demonstrated the feasibility of delivering EQT among CD individuals early in residential treatment. Future research should include a larger sample and examine the mechanisms and potential longitudinal benefits of EQT.
目的
本初步研究旨在检验气功疗法（EQT）对近期戒断可卡因的可卡因依赖者（CD）个体减少线索诱发的可卡因渴望和相关症状的可行性、初步疗效，并确定其效果大小。
方法
本研究将 101 名 CD 受试者随机分为真实 EQT（n=51）或 sham EQT 对照组（n=50）。受试者接受基线评估和为期 2 周的每周线索暴露疗程。在 2 周内，接受总计 4 到 6 次 EQT 或 sham 治疗。
结果
接受 EQT 治疗的受试者表现出更大程度的线索诱发渴望（p=0.06）和抑郁症状（p<0.05）降低，效果大小为中等。
结论
本研究证明了在住院治疗早期向 CD 个体提供 EQT 的可行性。未来的研究应包括更大的样本，并探讨 EQT 的机制和潜在的纵向获益。
