Clinical research on Tai Chi: a review of health benefits

Abstract

Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese martial art and health exercise, has gained significant global attention and recognition. The clinical benefits of Tai Chi have been studied extensively in recent decades. We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE databases, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, identifying and reviewing 241 clinical trials on the benefits of Tai Chi from their inception to June 1, 2023. Most of these studies have consistently demonstrated the positive impact of Tai Chi on balance, cognitive function, mood regulation, sleep quality, pain relief, cardiorespiratory function, and overall health. In the future, the key to fostering the ongoing development of this field lies in comprehensive research on standardized study designs and reporting, the scope of Tai Chi applications, and the core factors influencing its efficacy.
