Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Baduanjin is a form of mind-body exercise with a profound philosophical foundation rooted in oriental culture. Previous studies have provided some evidences of beneficial effects on Baduanjin for depression and anxiety. Moreover, the effects and mechanisms of Baduanjin on patients with symptoms of depression and anxiety are yet to be further investigated.
This is a two-group prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded trial, planning to enroll 120 participants (60 for Baduanjin intervention group receiving health education plus a Baduanjin breathing training program, and 60 for health education control group only receiving health education).
The aims of the prospective randomized study are: (1) to examine the effects of Baduanjin breathing training on reducing symptoms of depression or anxiety, and (2) to explore the correlates between improvements of depression or anxiety symptom and changes of lung function.
