“…Tai Chi exercises have been found to be effective in improving physical function and quality of life in elderly women with KOA. A 12-week modified Tai Chi program demonstrated significant improvements in the WOMAC pain score, indicating effective treatment for enhancing physical function and quality of life among elderly women with KOA [22].…”

“…Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), a form of degenerative joint disease that results in chronic pain, negative emotions, diminished functionality, shame, and significant economic burden. In China, the incidence rate of KOA has already surpassed 0.11 billion individuals, given its current prevalence of 8.1% [1]. The elderly population (aged 60 years and older) across the world continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, with an estimated increase from 1 billion in 2019 to 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050, particularly in developing nations.…”

Osteoarthritis of the knee (KOA) is a condition with an increased prevalence of morbidity. The proportion of senior citizens has increased, and this population will continue to grow. Several studies investigated the impact of KOA patient prevention and treatment on their health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Young-old patients with KOA may have a lower quality of life (QOL). In recent decades, the clinical treatment of KOA has diversified, and Western medicine has achieved rapid results, especially in surgical treatment. However, there is still controversy over the long-term efficacy after surgery, with some surgeries being complex. Traditional Chinese medicine appears to have a unique and beneficial effect on the HRQOL improvement of elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis. However, the majority of prior studies did not compare the effects of Western therapy and traditional Chinese medicine on the HRQOL of KOA patients. Interventions to improve the HRQOL of young-old patients with KOA are currently unknown. This study evaluated HRQOL of young-old (60-74 years) patients with KOA. While there are some effective KOA prevention and treatment options. The research was hampered by an absence of solid evidence from randomised controlled trials and a paucity of studies examining the influence of KOA on the QOL of the young-old. Despite these limitations, it is anticipated that this study will provide a theoretical reference for enhancing the QOL and friendliness of elderly patients with KOA.

While some studies indicated the effectiveness of TCE on sleep outcomes, [23,24] others indicated no such effects.

Background: The efficacy of traditional Chinese exercise (TCE)-based interventions in the improvement of sleep quality is controversial. In this systematic review, we aimed to summarize randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that outline the effects of TCE on sleep quality. Methods: Five databases (Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, Medline, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) were searched for literature published before July 2022. RCTs examining TCE interventions were included. The treatment effects were estimated using a random-effect meta-analysis model with mean differences (MDs). There were 2 outcome scales for sleep quality; however, because they were extremely contrastive to be analyzed by standard MD, the scales were analyzed separately to ensure the accuracy of the results. This review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (identifier CRD42023421314). Results: Twenty studies were included for analysis at last. The outcome was calculated using the Verran and Snyder-Halpern Sleep Scale (MD: 344.17, 95% confidence interval: 316.95 to 371.39, P < .00001) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to measure sleep quality (MD: −2.24, 95% confidence interval: −3.05 to −1.43, P < .00001), both showed improvement effect. In subgroup analysis, for patients with fibromyalgia, normal older adults, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic fatigue syndrome-like illness, knee osteoarthritis, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, pausimenia, insomnia, TCE could improve sleep quality. However, there was no significant improvement in stroke patients, breast cancer patients, normal college students, and episodic migraine patients. Tai Chi had greater effects in improving sleep quality than Qigong. In addition, the participants practice site, duration, and age did not influence the effects of TCE. Conclusion: TCE can improve sleep quality in specific populations in specific populations clinical applications. Tai chi should be considered first to improve sleep quality. However, further extensive trials and rigorous study designs should be conducted to strengthen the findings of this study. In addition, considering the large heterogeneity, the findings of our study should be interpreted cautiously.

“…Tai Chi, developed a few hundred years ago, is a traditional Chinese mind-body practice that combines physical, psychosocial, and social factors to promote health. It is an ancient discipline characterized by flowing circular movements of the upper limbs and constant weight shifting in the lower limbs (Peng, 2012;Dong et al, 2022;Song et al, 2022). Tai Chi has five forms: Chen, Yang, Wu, Sun, and Wu/Hao.…”

IntroductionChronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) is a complex condition characterized by pain, dysfunction, disturbed sleep, anxiety, and depression, all of which impair the quality of life. Previous studies showed that practicing Tai Chi had effects on chronic low back pain. However, there is a lack of evidence on its impact on sleep. The trial will evaluate the use of Tai Chi as a treatment for insomnia in elderly people with CNLBP.MethodsThe study design will be a randomized, controlled, open-label trial. Participants (n = 106) will be recruited from the Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qing Yang District University for the Elderly, and Ci Tang Street Community. Participants will be randomly assigned to the Tai Chi group (n = 53) and the control group (n = 53). The Tai Chi group will undergo a Yang-style 24-form Tai Chi program for 8 weeks. The control group will have a waiting period of 8 weeks, followed by 8 weeks of Tai Chi practice. The primary outcomes of this study will be changes in sleep quality and pain intensity. Secondary outcomes of interest will include changes in the quality of pain, range of motion, physical performance, social support, and overall quality of life. Any adverse events and attendance rates will also be reported in this study.Clinical trial registrationChiCTR2200064977.
