A Mind Body Intervention to Reduce Symptoms Among People Aging With HIV
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating The Qigong Intervention and Sham Qigong for Mental Health and Physical Health. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will develop and pilot test a qigong intervention with older people (50 and over) living with HIV. Participants (n=48) will be randomly assigned to one of 3 conditions: the qigong intervention, a sham qigong intervention, and a usual standard of care group. The study will determine the acceptability and feasibility of the study. If found effective, the qigong intervention will also improve the psychological and physical symptoms of older people living with HIV.

Qigong is a low-impact, slow-movement, meditative form of exercise that has helped relieve mental and physical stressors.
This intervention includes similar body movements to qigong; however, it does not have the meditative or breath work.
