Improvement of psychological adjustment and pain reduction in fibromyalgia after a qigong training program
The practice of Taoist qigong for a short period of one month induced a noteworthy improvement in psychological adjustment, including a reduction in a specific component of pain, in individuals with fibromyalgia. Qigong, therefore, appears to be an effective therapeutic tool for this complex syndrome.
