Meta AnalysisEffectiveness of Tai Chi on fibromyalgia patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
To identify empirical evidence on the effectiveness of Tai Chi in treating fibromyalgia (FM). ⋯ Tai Chi exerts significantly greater effects on patients with FM than standard care; therefore, we suggest that Tai Chi can be used as an alternative treatment. However, more large-scale, high-quality, and multicenter trials are required to provide stronger evidence on the effectiveness of Tai Chi, as an alternative to aerobic exercise, compared with conventional therapeutic exercise.
