The emerging paradigm of whole person health shares many core principles with traditional complementary and integrative health frameworks, including Tai Chi and Qigong (TCQ). In the fall of 2023, the Harvard Medical School Osher Center for Integrative Health hosted the inaugural international conference on : at Harvard Medical School. A two-part white paper was written to summarize key conference topics, findings, and issues. Part II presented here summarizes evidence gaps and future research opportunities, including: understudied clinical conditions and populations, impact of long-term TCQ training, understanding the impact of specific TCQ styles, training regimens, dosage, and contextual effects; implementation, cost-effectiveness, and medical utilization research; individual data meta-analysis, and teaching competencies, credentialing, and licensure. Part I of this white paper discusses the rationale for the conference, synthesizes the state of evidence for TCQ as rehabilitative and preventive tools for a range of clinical conditions, and summarizes the translational research informing therapeutic mechanisms associated with TCQ training.
全人健康这一新兴范式与传统补充和综合健康框架（包括太极拳和气功，即太极气功）有许多核心原则相同。2023年秋季，哈佛医学院奥舍尔综合健康中心在哈佛医学院主办了首届关于太极气功的国际会议。撰写了一份分为两部分的白皮书，以总结会议的关键主题、研究结果和问题。此处呈现的第二部分总结了证据空白和未来研究机会，包括：研究不足的临床病症和人群、长期太极气功训练的影响、了解特定太极气功风格、训练方案、剂量和背景效应的影响；实施、成本效益和医疗利用研究；个体数据荟萃分析，以及教学能力、认证和执照。本白皮书的第一部分讨论了会议的基本原理，综合了太极气功作为一系列临床病症的康复和预防工具的证据状况，并总结了为与太极气功训练相关的治疗机制提供信息的转化研究。
