This study evaluated the effects of traditional Chinese medicine based exercise (TCE) on cognitive outcomes for patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and tried to identify the most effective TCE modality. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials were conducted. Ten studies met the inclusion criteria. TCE interventions were classified into three types: (a) Tai Chi, (b) Baduanjin, and (c) Qigong. The pooled analysis showed that, overall, TCE had beneficial effects on global cognition and memory. Subgroup analysis further demonstrated that Baduanjin had a larger effect size on global cognition than the other TCE modalities. By contrast, Tai Chi had a larger effect size on memory than the other modalities. This study implied that TCE is a promising exercise option for improving cognition in MCI. However, further studies with a more rigorous study design are warranted to support or falsify the findings of the present review.
本研究评估了基于中医的运动（TCE）对轻度认知障碍（MCI）患者认知结果的影响，并试图确定最有效的 TCE 方式。对随机对照试验进行了系统评价和荟萃分析。有 10 项研究符合纳入标准。TCE 干预措施分为三种类型：（a）太极拳，（b）八段锦，和（c）气功。汇总分析表明，总的来说，TCE 对整体认知和记忆有有益的影响。亚组分析进一步表明，与其他 TCE 方式相比，八段锦对整体认知的效果更大。相比之下，太极拳对记忆的效果大于其他方式。本研究表明，TCE 是改善 MCI 认知的一种很有前途的运动选择。然而，需要更严格的研究设计的进一步研究来支持或反驳本综述的发现。
