Effect of 24-style Tai Chi Combined with Respiratory Function Training and Western Medicine on Stable COPD
Objective To evaluate the effect of Tai Chi combined with respiratory function training and western medicine on stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease( COPD). Methods Totally 72 stable COPD patients were randomized into Tai Chi group
respiratory training group
Tai Chi and respiratory training group and western medicine control group
with 18 in each. All patients were given oxygen therapy
bronchodilator
glucocorticoid
expectorant and other basic symptomatic treatment according to disease conditions. Patients in Tai Chi group practiced24-style Tai Chi twice a day
two cycles each time. Patients in respiratory training group did pursed-lips breathing three times a day
15 min each time. Patients in Tai Chi and respiratory training group practiced both Tai Chi and pursed-lips breathing. In western medicine control group
patients were only given medicine for treatment. Treatment course of each group was 12 months. The pulmonary function( including FEV1
FEV1%
and FEV1 /FVC)
6MWT
CAT score and aggravation situation were observed respectively 1 month
3 months
6 months and 12 months before and after treatment. Results There was no significant difference between groups in FEV1
FEV1% and FEV1 / FVC before and after treatment( P > 0. 05). Before treatment
6MWT of patients in each group had no statistically significant difference( P > 0. 05). After treatment
6MWT at each time point of western medicine control group had no statistically significant difference as compared with before treatment( P > 0. 05). Comparing with before treatment
6MWT in Tai Chi group
respiratory training group
and Tai Chi and respiratory training group was significantly prolonged 6 months and 12 months after treatment( P < 0. 05). 6MWT in Tai Chi and respiratory training group was also significantly prolonged 12 months after treatment comparing with that in the Tai Chi group
respiratory training group and western medicine control group( P < 0. 05). As for CAT score at each time point in western medicine control group
the difference between before and after treatment had no statistical significance( P > 0. 05). The CAT score in Tai Chi group
respiratory training group
and Tai Chi and respiratory training group was significantly decreased 6 months and 12 months after the treatment( P < 0. 05). In each group
difference among hospital stays due to acute exacerbation had no statistical significance( P > 0. 05). The average hospitalization days in Tai Chi group
respiratory training group
and Tai Chi and respiratory training group were dramatically shortened as compared with the western medicine control group( P < 0. 05). Conclusion Tai Chi and pursed-lips breathing can both improve the activity and quality of life and reduce the hospital stays of stable COPD patients. The combination of Tai Chi and pursed-lips breathing has more significant effect.
