1.	Pain (Aches) 10/01/2008 - "Within-groups analyses demonstrated that the qigong group (p = 0.03), but not the control group, experienced a significant reduction of pain intensity. " 01/01/2006 - "Children who learned guided imagery with progressive muscle relaxation had significantly greater decrease in the number of days with pain than those learning breathing exercises alone after one (67% vs. 21%, P = 0.05), and two (82% vs. 45%, P < 0.01) months and significantly greater decrease in days with missed activities at one (85% vs. 15%, P = 0.02) and two (95% vs. 77%. " 01/01/2009 - "CONCLUSIONS: Evidence suggests that breathing exercises, child-directed distraction, nurse-led distraction, and combined cognitive-behavioral interventions are effective in reducing the pain and distress associated with routine childhood immunizations. " 01/01/2009 - "Breathing exercises were effective in reducing children's self-reported pain (standardized mean difference [SMD], -0.43; 95% CI, -0.76 to -0.09; P = 0.01), observer-rated distress (SMD, -0.40; 95% CI, -0.68 to -0.11; P = 0.007), and nurse-reported distress (SMD, -0.57; 95% CI, -0.98 to -0.17; P = 0.005).

" 01/01/2008 - "METHODS: Six major electronic databases were searched up to July 2006 to retrieve any potential randomized controlled trials designed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of self-practiced qigong for essential hypertension reported in any language, with main outcome measures as systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

" 01/01/2003 - "CONCLUSIONS: This study has demonstrated that high-intensity, interval-based respiratory muscle training is feasible in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD, resulting in significant improvements in respiratory muscle strength and endurance when performed three times a week for 8 weeks." 11/01/2000 - "To study the effects of hyperpnea training, we randomized 30 patients with COPD and ventilatory limitation to respiratory muscle training (RMT; n = 15) with a new portable device or to breathing exercises with an incentive spirometer (controls; n = 15). " 04/01/1997 - "STUDY SELECTION: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of exercise training, breathing exercises, education, and psychosocial support in patients with COPD were primarily included if (1) the treatment effect of a specific component of a rehabilitation program could be isolated, and (2) exercise capacity, HRQL, compliance with medical therapy, and/or knowledge about the disease were measured.
