Meta AnalysisA systematic review and meta-analysis of Liuzijue in stable patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
To investigate the effectiveness of Liuzijue exercise on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the stable phase. ⋯ Evidence from meta-analysis suggested that Liuzijue exercise could improve dyspnea, exercise endurance, lung function, and quality of life for stable COPD patients. However, owing to the methodological bias and the placebo effect of Liuzijue exercise, there is a need for further research to confirm these findings.
