Qigong for trauma-related dissociation: a clinical trial
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle movement and meditation practice called Qigong can help reduce feelings of disconnection (dissociation) in adults who went through tough childhood experiences. If you join, you'd take part in a Qigong program and your symptoms would be tracked over time.
