Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal condition that affects a large portion of the population. It is not known if qigong affects neck pain. The purpose of this review is to systematically review the effects of qigong in subjects with neck pain.
A systematic review of literature indexed in the following databases: PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, and SportsDiscus, was conducted and methodologically graded using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale (PEDro).
Five studies satisfied criteria and were included in this review. The majority of included studies found that qigong had a significant effect on neck pain or disability (95% CI). Qigong was not generally more effective than exercise therapy groups.
The findings of this systematic review indicate that qigong might have a beneficial effect in some individuals with neck pain, although not necessarily more effective than therapeutic exercise.
颈部疼痛是一种常见的肌肉骨骼疾病，影响着很大一部分人群。目前尚不清楚气功是否会对颈部疼痛产生影响。本综述的目的是系统地评估气功对颈部疼痛患者的影响。
对以下数据库中索引的文献进行系统综述：PubMed、Medline、CINAHL、Physiotherapy Evidence Database 和 SportsDiscus，并使用 Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale（PEDro）进行方法学分级。
有五项研究符合标准并被纳入本综述。大多数纳入的研究发现气功对颈部疼痛或残疾有显著影响（95%CI）。气功通常并不比运动疗法组更有效。
本系统综述的结果表明，气功可能对某些颈部疼痛患者有有益的效果，尽管不一定比运动疗法更有效。
