This study just ended this past July! Will be very fascinating to see the results once published. 

The study was officially approved by the University of Minnesota.

Sydney Carpentier · PhD Student at University of Minnesota

 As a PhD student in the Brain Body Mind lab, she researches how strengthening the brain-body connection (through body awareness training) can improve pain, sensory, and motor outcomes for adults with spinal cord injury and stroke. For her dissertation research, she aims to develop a tool that will measure body awareness in adults with SCI with the intent of using it in future clinical trials and in clinical settings.

 The Results are Published!!

 they were 15 ± 11 years post-SCI with the highest baseline neuropathic pain of 7.94 ± 2.33, which was reduced to 4.17 ± 3.07 after 12 weeks of Qigong practice (Cohen’s d = 1.75). This pain relief remained at 6-week and 1-year follow-ups. Participants reported reduced spasm frequency (change score 1.17 ± 1.20, d = 0.98) and severity (0.72 ± 1.02, d = 0.71), reduced interference of neuropathic pain on mood (3.44 ± 2.53, d = 1.36), sleep (3.39 ± 2.40, d = 1.41), daily activities (3.17 ± 2.77, d = 1.14), greater ability to perform functional activities (6.68 ± 3.07, d = 2.18), and improved mood (2.33 ± 3.31, d = 0.70) after Qigong.

Discussion: Remote Spring Forest Qigong’s “Five Element Qigong Healing Movements” practice is feasible in adults with SCI-related neuropathic pain, with promising prolonged results of neuropathic pain relief and improvement in SCI-related symptoms after Qigong practice.

 2nd study results!!

 Interpretation Our data indicate the feasibility and acceptability of using Spring Forest Qigong™ practice or P.Volve low-intensity exercises for cLBP relief showing promising results in terms of pain relief and associated symptoms. Our brain imaging results indicated brain function improvements after 12 weeks of Qigong practice in some participants, pointing to the need for further investigation in larger studies.
