CRD SUMMARY: The review concluded that Qigong may have positive effects on psychological well-being among patients with chronic illnesses, but the studies generally had significant methodological limitations so better quality studies were needed. These conclusions appear justified for type II diabetes patients, but their relevance to patients with other chronic illnesses is more uncertain.
