Precis som för alla andra områden är den vetenskapliga grunden för qigong viktig. Här introduceras några forskningsrapporter som ger ett visst vetenskapligt stöd för effekterna av qigong. Notera att resultaten nedan endast har visats av namngiven qigonglärare och qigongmetod och inte utan vidare kan sägas gälla andra utövare eller metoder.
Inflammation
Titel:
Effects of Zhineng Qigong on Experimental Inflammation and Neutrophil Chemiluminescence.
Qigonglärare:
Su Dongyue.
Professor:
Chen Xiangyin.
Institut:
Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, P. R. China.
Publicerat:
”Journal of Microcirculation” (China), # 3, 1993.
Resultat:
”Journal of Microcirculation” (China), # 3, 1993. The results showed that Zhineng Qigong could significantly inhibit carrageenan-induced rat paw edema (p<0.01) and stimulate neutrophil CL in vitro (p<0.01). ”Journal of Microcirculation” (China), # 3, 1993.
Priser:
Bästa vetenskapliga rapport från The First World Traditional Medicine Conference (USA, april 1994)
Minne och förmåga till inlärning
Titel:
Effect of Zhineng Qigong on Receptor activity of Brain Synaptic Membranes in rats.
Qigonglärare:
Su Dongyue.
Professor:
Zuo Pingping.
Institut:
Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, P. R. China.
Publicerat:
”Oriental Science Qigong” # 3, 1993.
Resultat:
The receptor of rat brainsynaptic membranes can successfully recieve the information of Zhineng Qigong, cerebral cortex and hippocampus (both have close relation to learning and memory) and the function of M-receptor were enchanged by increasing the affinity with their ligand.
Priser:
Bästa vetenskapliga rapport från The International Somatic Science Conference (USA, May 1995).
Cancer
Titel:
Effects of Zhineng Qigong on Sarcoma (S-180).
Qigonglärare:
Su Dongyue.
Professor:
Li Mei et al.
Institut:
Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, P. R. China.
Publicerat:
”Oriental Science Qigong” # 3, 1993.
Resultat:
S-180 was significantly inhibited by Zhineng Qigong. The inhibition rate was 84.4% (p<0.001). Both light and electron microscope showed that the tumor cells degenerated.
