简要总结
The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of 12-week Baduanjin qigong exercises in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. 59 volunteer individuals, ages 18-64, will be included in the study. They will be randomly divided into two groups (the intervention and the control). The intervention group will perform a qigong exercise program online (via Zoom video conference) for 12 weeks under the supervision of two physiotherapists. The qigong exercise program had previously been videotaped by the researchers. The control group will perform the home exercise program at home for 12 weeks.
详细描述
This study will be conducted to examine the effect of Baduanjin qigong exercises on patients with ankylosing spondylitis. 29 individuals with ankylosing spondylitis (the intervention group) and 30 healthy individuals (the control group), totaling 59 volunteer individuals ages 18-64, will be included in the study.
The intervention group will perform a qigong exercise program online (via Zoom video conference) for 12 weeks under the supervision of two physiotherapists. The qigong exercise program had previously been videotaped by the researchers. The control group will perform the home exercise program at home for 12 weeks. The intervention group will perform Qigong online exercise program, and the control group will perform home exercises for 45 minutes twice a week for 12 weeks.
In this study the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index, Chest Expansion Measurement, The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Fatigue Severity Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire will be applied before and after the 12-week exercise program in the evaluation of patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Chest expansion
时间窗: 12 weeks
Chest expansion will be evaluated by chest expansion measurement. After measuring the chest circumference following a deep inspiration from the fourth intercostal space (at the level of the nipples), chest expansion is determined by measuring again after a forced expiration and taking the net difference between them. The average of two the correct measurements will be taken as the final measurement.
Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life
时间窗: 12 weeks
Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire-ASQoL will be used to evaluate the patient's quality of life. ASQoL questionnaire measures disease-specific quality of life.
Functional capacity
时间窗: 12 weeks
The functional capacity of the patient will be evaluated with The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI). BASFI is a set of 10 questions designed to determine the degree of functional limitation in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). The 10 questions were chosen with a major input from patients with AS. The first 8 questions are about everyday tasks and dependent on functional anatomy (bending, reaching, changing position, standing, turning, and climbing steps with or without rail) while the final 2 questions assess the patients' ability to cope with everyday life. Each item is scored on a scale of 0-10.
Axial involvement
时间窗: 12 weeks
Axial involvement in the patient will be evaluated with the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index. The Bath AS Metrology Index (BASMI) is a validated composite index of spinal and hip mobility comprising measures of cervical rotation, tragus-to-wall distance, lumbar spinal forward and side flexion, and hip abduction.
Disease activity
时间窗: 12 weeks
The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) will be used to assess disease activity. The index, designed by a multidisciplinary team with input from patients, consists of six 10 cm horizontal visual analog scales to measure severity of fatigue, spinal and peripheral joint pain, localized tenderness and morning stiffness (both qualitative and quantitative). The final BASDAI score has a range of 0 to 10.
Sleep Quality
时间窗: 12 weeks
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be used to evaluate the sleep quality of patients. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-rated questionnaire which assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval.
Fatigue
时间窗: 12 weeks
Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) will be used to evaluate patients' fatigue levels. Fatigue is an overwhelming sense of tiredness and lack of energy that can impair participation in daily tasks and work. It may become a chronic and disabling problem in daily life of the patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis. The FSS is a measurement of fatigue impact on functioning.
