Systematic review compares therapeutic effects of mind-body exercises on FEV1 and quality of life in COPD patients, suggesting tailored rehabilitation strategies.

Key Points

  • Wuqinxi showed the highest improvement in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) among COPD patients, indicating its effectiveness.
  • In a total of 83 RCTs with 6,707 COPD patients, Wuqinxi ranked top for enhancing exercise capacity based on the 6-minute walk test.
  • The network meta-analysis was performed using the frequentist model in Stata 14.0, ensuring comprehensive assessment of interventions.
  • Individualized selection of mind-body exercises can promote rehabilitation based on patients' specific needs and functional status.
