Effect of Baduanjin Qigong and transcranial direct current stimulation on quality of sleep and disease impact in elderly patients with fibromyalgia: a randomised, sham‐controlled study
This study shows that physical activity interventions, and especially BQG, significantly improve sleep quality and disease symptoms, with notable effects on PSQI scores and FIQR, especially when combined with tDCS across different groups. These findings highlight the importance of combining interventions into holistic brain-body treatments for managing FM effectively.
