Current medical treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD) are mainly palliative, though research indicates Tai Chi exercise improves physical function and well-being. An electronic database search of PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO and Embase was conducted, to examine current scientific literature for potential benefits of Tai Chi on physical function and well-being among persons with PD. A total of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria: 7 randomized clinical trials and 4 quasi-experimental studies. PD participants (n = 548) were on average age 68 years old and 50% women. Overall, participants enrolled in Tai Chi had better balance and one or more aspect of well-being, though mixed results were reported. Further research is needed with more rigorous study designs, larger sample sizes, adequate Tai Chi exercise doses, and carefully chosen outcome measures that assess the mechanisms as well as the effects of Tai Chi, before widespread recommendations can be made.
帕金森病(PD)目前的医学治疗主要是姑息性的,不过研究表明太极拳运动可改善身体功能和幸福感。我们对PubMed、CINAHL、科学网、考克兰图书馆、PsycINFO和Embase进行了电子数据库检索,以查阅当前科学文献中关于太极拳对帕金森病患者身体功能和幸福感的潜在益处。共有11项研究符合纳入标准:7项随机临床试验和4项准实验研究。帕金森病参与者(n = 548)平均年龄为68岁,女性占50%。总体而言,参加太极拳运动的参与者平衡能力更好,幸福感在一个或多个方面有所改善,不过也有不同的研究结果报道。在能够做出广泛推荐之前,需要采用更严格的研究设计、更大的样本量、足够的太极拳运动剂量以及精心选择的评估太极拳机制和效果的结局指标进行进一步研究。
