【 摘 要 】
Fibromyalgia syndrome presents with widespread chronic pain and other symptoms. Approaches in alternative medicine offer promising results in managing fibromyalgia symptoms. Qigong exercise is a mind–body therapy originating in Chinese medicine that can benefit patients with fibromyalgia. We report 2 case studies of patients with fibromyalgia who completed a 6-week Qigong exercise program. In both cases, patients’ fibromyalgia symptoms improved after the Qigong exercise program. The patient in case 1 also experienced a drastic decline in the serial measurement of CA-125 (a biomarker for ovarian cancer) after the 6-week Qigong exercise. In case 2, the patient’s uncontrolled crying also significantly improved. These observations indicate that Qigong exercise can bring about wide-ranging benefits to patients with fibromyalgia.
