Qigong Intervention for Fibromyalgia A Randomized Controlled Study
Sponsor: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi
Summary
This randomized controlled pilot study investigates the comparative efficacy of mobility-intensive Qigong exercises versus static posture-based Qigong exercises in patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Participants are randomly allocated to either a mobility-intensive Qigong intervention group or a static posture-based Qigong intervention group. The primary objectives are to evaluate improvements in spinal mobility and reductions in pain levels. Secondary outcomes include enhancements in functional exercise capacity, reductions in fatigue severity, and improvements in health-related quality of life. All outcome assessments are conducted at baseline and upon completion of the intervention program.

Interventions
Mobility-Intensive Qigong Exercise
Dynamic and fluid mobility-intensive Qigong exercises focusing on active range of motion, muscle flexibility, muscle strengthening, and breath coordination under online physiotherapist supervision (12 weeks, 2 sessions/week, 45 minutes/session).
Static Posture-Based Qigong Exercise
Participants receive static posture-based Qigong exercises consisting of sustained isometric postures, breath regulation, and alignment control to enhance postural stability, static endurance, and core strengthening under online physiotherapist supervision (12 weeks, 2 sessions/week, 45 minutes/session).
