• W2275686767 abstract "9565 Background: The quality of life (QOL) of cancer patients is often diminished due to the side effects of treatment and symptoms of the disease itself. Medical Qigong (MQ), coordination of gentle exercise and relaxation through meditation and breathing exercise based on the Chinese Medicine theory of energy channels, may improve health and mental wellbeing and reduce the symptoms of cancer patients. However, there have been few studies of MQ in the cancer setting, and none exploring its impact in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) on QOL, side effects (including fatigue), mood status and inflammation. This was a pilot study preceding a full RCT of this intervention. Methods: Forty-three patients diagnosed with a range of cancers, were randomly assigned to two groups: a control group (n=21) that received usual health care and an intervention group (n=22) who participated in a MQ program for 10 weeks in addition to receiving usual health care at the hospital. Randomization was stratified by completion of cancer treatment (n=20) or under active cancer treatment (n=23). Patients completed measures before and after the program. Cancer related fatigue was measured by FACT-F, quality of life and symptoms were measured by the FACT-G, mood status by POMS. The inflammatory marker serum C-reactive protein (CRP) was also monitored serially. Results: The Medical Qigong intervention group reported clinically significantly improved fatigue (t30 =2.67, p=0.012, mean difference=5.9) and overall QOL (t30 =1.22, p=0.017, mean difference =10.2) compared to the control group. Analysis of the FACT- G subscales revealed that satisfaction with sex life (t12 =2.38, p=0.035) was significantly higher in the MQ group. The MQ intervention also reduced side effects (nausea, pain and insomnia), mood and inflammation biomarker (CRP) but these differences were not statistically significant compared to the control group. Conclusions: Data from the study suggests that MQ with usual health care can improve fatigue, satisfaction with sex life and QOL in cancer patients. This pilot study supports the use of MQ as an intervention for cancer patients. However, further research with a larger sample size is needed. No significant financial relationships to disclose." @default.
