Abstract

Background: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a chronic disease characterized by various symptoms such as pathological fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and inability to recover energy after waking up. The Yijinjing, a kind of health care practice from ancient China, consists of 12 movements, and it is considered as one of the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for health maintenance, health care, and disease healing. In this study, multiple scales were used to evaluate the effects of Yijinjing intervention on the clinical symptoms of CFS.

Patients and methods: Forty patients with CFS were randomly assigned to Yijinjing group and the cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) group separately. The Yijinjing intervention was practiced 6 times per week, among which one exercise should be guided by the teacher of the faculty in the university, and another 5 times should be finished at home over 12 consecutive weeks. Similarly, the control group received cognitive education, including popular science lectures and psychological counseling related to CFS prevention and treatment for 12 weeks. Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (MFI-20), Short Form 36-item Health Survey (SF-36), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were assessed before and after intervention.

Results: Intra-group analysis showed that the differences in MFI-20, SF-36, and PSQI were statistically significant (p < 0.05) after the intervention of 12 weeks Yijinjing intervention. Compared with the CBT group, the differences in MFI-20 and PSQI of the Yijinjing group were statistically significant (p < 0.05), but SF-36 was superior to the CBT group in terms of physical function, bodily pain, general health, and vitality (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Yijinjing can significantly improve sleep disorders, fatigue, and quality of life in patients with CFS and is superior to behavioral cognitive education in pain and vitality. The study was registered with Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR-INR-17010694.

益金经气功对慢性疲劳综合征患者疲劳、睡眠质量和健康状况的影响:随机、对照、平行组临床研究
背景:慢性疲劳综合征(Chronic fatigue syndrome, CFS)是一种以病理性疲劳、认知功能障碍、醒来后无法恢复能量等多种症状为特征的慢性疾病。易经是一种来自中国古代的保健实践,由12个动作组成,被认为是一种补充和替代医学(CAM),用于保健,保健和治疗疾病。本研究采用多量表评价益金经干预对CFS临床症状的影响。患者与方法:将40例CFS患者随机分为益金净组和认知行为治疗组。益金经干预每周练习6次,其中1次由学校教师指导,另外5次在家中完成,连续12周。对照组同样接受认知教育,包括与CFS防治相关的科普讲座和心理咨询,为期12周。评估干预前后多维疲劳量表-20 (MFI-20)、简易36项健康调查量表(SF-36)和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)。结果:组内分析显示,益金经干预12周后,两组患者MFI-20、SF-36、PSQI差异均有统计学意义(p < 0.05)。与CBT组比较,易金晶组MFI-20、PSQI差异均有统计学意义(p < 0.05),但SF-36在身体功能、身体疼痛、一般健康、活力方面均优于CBT组(p < 0.05)。结论:益金经能显著改善CFS患者的睡眠障碍、疲劳和生活质量,在疼痛和活力方面优于行为认知教育。该研究已在中国临床试验注册中心注册:ChiCTR-INR-17010694。
