TCM Daoyin in the Treatment of Patients With Anxiety State

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

In recent years, the number of people with symptoms of anxiety are on the rise. TCM Daoyin is a promising intervention for anxiety. This study is designed to allow researchers to better understand the changes in anxiety symptom, brain activity, and immune function during patients with anxiety states receiving TCM Daoyin intervention. Thus, the aims of the prospective randomized study are: (1) to examine the effects of TCM Daoyin training on reducing symptoms of anxiety, (2) to measure brain activity by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and (3) to assess Immune function.

Clinical Trial Description

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems in the world. But there is a lack of sufficient no-drug intervention for relieving the anxious symptoms. The study focuses on mild and early anxiety disorder, which symptoms are not sufficiently severe, numerous, or persistent to justify a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder. TCM Daoyin is a form of mind-body exercise with a profound philosophical foundation rooted in Chinese culture. Previous studies have provided some evidence of beneficial effects on TCM Daoyin for anxiety, such as Baduanjin and Liuzijue. However, the effects and neurophysiology mechanisms of TCM Daoyin on patients with anxiety state are yet to be further investigated. This is a two-group prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded trial, planning to enroll 20 participants (10 for TCM Daoyin intervention group receiving health education plus a TCM Daoyin training program, and 10 for health education control group only receiving health education). The aims of the prospective randomized study are: (1) to examine the effects of TCM Daoyin training on reducing symptoms of anxiety, (2) to measure brain activity by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and (3) to assess Immune function. ;
