Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
All study subjects engaged in a simple Tai Chi training program for two weeks. The Tai Chi training consisted of a series of gentle physical exercises that incorporated elements of meditation, body awareness, imagery, and abdominal breathing.
A professional instructor conducted two training sessions for both patients and controls, ensuring that participants could perform the exercises independently at home during the last hour before sleep. Each session lasted twenty minutes, to be done daily. Participants were given a checklist documenting their sleep and exercise diary to confirm adherence for at least five days each week. After the two-week period, all participants are reassessed using the Insomnia severity index.
