NCT ID NCT07675681
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a seated Tai Chi and Qigong program, done at home via videos, can improve cardiometabolic health, stress, and sleep in women aged 35-64 who use mobility aids. Participants are randomly assigned to either the Tai Chi program or a health education video group for 12 weeks. Researchers measure changes in waist size, heart rate variability, and stress hormones to see if this gentle mind-body practice offers health benefits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
seated Tai Chi/Qigong
What this could lead to
If effective, this could provide an accessible, home-based exercise option to improve cardiometabolic health and well-being for women with mobility impairments.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial focused on behavioral intervention, so results may not be generalizable. The control group receives health education, which may also provide benefits, making it harder to show a clear advantage.
