About 5% to 20% of the general population suffers from continuous fatigue, which is also one of the most frequent symptoms seen in primary medical care. Fatigue, if not effectively relieved, may have an adverse effect on the quality of life and treatment of patients. Qigong is a safe and comfortable exercise popular in China and among the Ethnic Chinese, and is a complementary therapy used to treat fatigue, such as cancer related fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome. It appears promising but lacks convincing evidence; thus, necessitating further investigation.
Eight databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang and VIP Data Knowledge Service Platform) will be searched from inception to November 30, 2020 for randomized controlled trials published in English or Chinese investigating the outcomes of the Qigong exercise (QE) for symptoms of fatigue and quality of life. We will also include additional references of relevant published studies by manually retrieving reference lists of included literature and previous relevant reviews. For articles that meet the inclusion criteria, 2 reviewers will independently conduct the study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment. The results of the outcome measures will be reported in risk ratios for dichotomous data and standard mean differences for continuous data. If necessary, we will also perform subgroup analyses and analyze the causes.
The results of this review will be submitted to a journal for publication.
This systematic review protocol aims to analyze whether QE is effective in treating fatigue associated with various disease.

约5%至20%的普通人群患有持续性疲劳，这也是初级医疗保健中最常见的症状之一。疲劳若得不到有效缓解，可能会对患者的生活质量和治疗产生不利影响。气功是一种在中国和华裔中流行的安全舒适的运动，是用于治疗疲劳（如癌症相关疲劳和慢性疲劳综合征）的一种补充疗法。它似乎很有前景，但缺乏令人信服的证据，因此有必要进一步研究。
将检索8个数据库（PubMed、Web of Science、Embase、Cochrane图书馆、中国生物医学光盘数据库、中国知网、万方和维普数据知识服务平台），检索时间从建库至2020年11月30日，以查找发表在英文或中文的随机对照试验，这些试验调查了气功锻炼（QE）对疲劳症状和生活质量的影响。我们还将通过手动检索纳入文献的参考文献列表和先前的相关综述，纳入相关已发表研究的其他参考文献。对于符合纳入标准的文章，2名评审员将独立进行研究选择、数据提取和偏倚风险评估。结果测量的结果将以二分类数据的风险比和连续数据的标准均差报告。如有必要，我们还将进行亚组分析并分析原因。
本综述的结果将提交给一家期刊发表。
本系统评价方案旨在分析QE是否能有效治疗与各种疾病相关的疲劳。
