Tai Chi for treating cancer-related fatigue: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Results analysis based on the GRADE assessment indicated that Tai Chi significantly alleviated fatigue symptoms in cancer patients (moderate-certainty evidence, SMD = -1.29, 95%CI: -1.72 to -0.85, <i>P</i> < 0.00001), improved sleep quality (moderate-certainty evidence, SMD = -0.45, 95%CI: -0.78 to -0.12, <i>P</i> = 0.007), and enhanced quality of life (low-certainty evidence, SMD = 0.70, 95%CI: 0.23 to 1.16, <i>P</i> = 0.003), suggesting that Tai Chi can serve as an effective adjuvant intervention for CRF.

Abstract

Results analysis based on the GRADE assessment indicated that Tai Chi significantly alleviated fatigue symptoms in cancer patients (moderate-certainty evidence, SMD = -1.29, 95%CI: -1.72 to -0.85, <i>P</i> < 0.00001), improved sleep quality (moderate-certainty evidence, SMD = -0.45, 95%CI: -0.78 to -0.12, <i>P</i> = 0.007), and enhanced quality of life (low-certainty evidence, SMD = 0.70, 95%CI: 0.23 to 1.16, <i>P</i> = 0.003), suggesting that Tai Chi can serve as an effective adjuvant intervention for CRF.
