Qi-gong relaxation exercise was used for treatment of pregnancy induced hypertension(PIH). Patients exercised 3 times a day until labor. In this study, there were two groups with 60 cases of PIH who had delivered in each group, they were treated by Qi-gong for one group and by medicine for another used as control. The clinical efficacy was evaluated according to PIH combined scores showed effective for 54 cases (90.0%) in Qi-gong group and 33 cases (55.0%) for the control group (P less than 0.01). Meconium stain in amniotic fluid was present in 12 cases (20.0%) in Qi-gong group and 29 cases (48.3%) in the control group (P less than 0.05). The incidence of abnormal hematocrit (greater than 35%) before treatment was 52.4% and decreased to 23.8% (P less than 0.05) in Qi-gong, while in the control group was 35.7% before treatment and 45.2% after treatment (P greater than 0.05). The mean value of blood E2 by RIA showed increased from 22.97 +/- 13.16 micrograms/ml to 33.74 +/- 34.01 micrograms/ml after Qi-gong treatment in 29 cases. The microscopical observation of finger nail capillaries showed various degrees of improvement of microcirculation after Qi-gong exercise for 17 cases and after a course of Qi-gong treatment for 11 cases in Qi-gong group. While for the control group, there was no changes after sit-still for some time.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
气功放松练习用于治疗妊娠高血压综合征（PIH）。患者每天练习3次，直至分娩。本研究中，每组有60例已分娩的PIH患者，一组采用气功治疗，另一组采用药物治疗作为对照。根据PIH综合评分评估临床疗效，气功组54例（90.0%）显效，对照组33例（55.0%）显效（P<0.01）。气功组羊水粪染12例（20.0%），对照组29例（48.3%）（P<0.05）。气功组治疗前血细胞比容异常（>35%）发生率为52.4%，治疗后降至23.8%（P<0.05），而对照组治疗前为35.7%，治疗后为45.2%（P>0.05）。放射免疫法检测29例患者气功治疗后血E2平均值从22.97±13.16μg/ml升至33.74±34.01μg/ml。气功组17例患者气功练习后及11例患者一个疗程气功治疗后指甲毛细血管显微镜观察显示微循环有不同程度改善。而对照组静卧一段时间后无变化。（摘要截选至250字）
