OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the Baduanjin Qigong exercise on chronic nonspecific low back pain in community-based group of elderly population. METHODS: Totally 76 patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain were randomly divided into the experimental group (n = 37) and the control group (n = 39). The control group received routine care and health education about chronic nonspecific low back pain, and the experimental group received Baduanjin Qigong exercise additionally. The primary and secondary outcomes measures of this trial were pain intensity and back functional disability. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaires were used to obtain data, which were measured respectively before intervention and three months later. RESULTS: Patients in the experimental group had a greater improvement than the controls in VAS scores after a 12-week intervention of Baduanjin exercise (p < 0.01). The total score of ODI, dimensional scores of Lifting, Walking and Social Life in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Baduanjin Qigong exercise appears to be slightly to moderately effective on relieving pain and improving function.
