Summary

Pain and sleep disturbance are common symptoms of community-dwelling older adults observed in traditional Chinese medical(TCM) clinics. Acupuncture or other medical treatments have their side effects and usage limitations, so it is expected that other non-medical interventions can relieve the symptoms. The purpose of this study was to test the effect of Qigong Wuqinxi intervention on pain, sleep quality, TCM body constitution and tongue features of the community-dwelling older adults.
