ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding how Qigong, a gentle exercise that combines movement, meditation, and breathing, can help women with gestational diabetes. The main goals are to see if practicing Qigong can help control blood sugar levels and improve mood and sleep for expectant mothers dealing with this condition. Women who are between 20 and 40 years old, pregnant with a single baby, and between 24 to 28 weeks along may be eligible to participate, provided they have no serious health issues or complications.

Participants in the trial will be practicing Qigong for three months, and researchers will monitor the effects it has on their health. It's important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to provide valuable insights into how this ancient practice might support women during pregnancy when facing gestational diabetes. If you or someone you know fits the eligibility criteria and is interested in this kind of intervention, keep an eye out for when the trial starts!
