简要总结
The purpose of this study is to conduct a pilot feasibility study of a combination of external and internal qigong on health-related quality of life in individuals with prolonged symptoms following COVID-19 infection.
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a combination of external and internal qigong, a traditional Chinese medicine healing practice, improves quality of life and symptoms for individuals with prolonged symptoms following a COVID-19 infection (sometimes called "long COVID"). The study involves completing questionnaires and participating in 6 weekly in person small group qigong sessions with an experienced qigong practitioner.
Participants will be randomized to participate in either an immediate or waitlist control group that will receive the qigong sessions starting 8 weeks later. Participants will complete 3 sets of questionnaires, each about 8 weeks apart and an interview about their experiences with qigong after completing the 6 sessions.
