Purpose: This study was done to evaluate the effects of Doin Gigong Exercise on the Recovery from Facial Paralysis, pain and anxiety in patients with Bell's palsy. Methods: A nonequivalent control group posttest-only non-synchronized design was used for this study. Participants were contacted at the oriental medicine ward of D hospital in Busan and assigned to either the experimental group (25) or control group (25). Collected data were analyzed for changes in recovery from facial paralysis, in pain and in anxiety between pre and post Doin Gigong Exercise. Data analysis was done using t-test, Fisher's exact test, $x^2-test$ with the SPSS 12.0 Win program. Results: There were significant decreases in the lip paralysis status pain and in anxiety between pre and post Doin Gigong Exercise. Conclusion: The results indicate that Doin Gigong Exercise is effective for patients with Bell's palsy to decrease lip paralysis, pain and anxiety and therefore, an effective intervention for use with patients with Bell's palsy.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Doin Gigong Exercise program on flexibleness of articulation and mood status in elderly woman. This study was one group pre-post test desgian with repeated measures. The experimental group of 27 patients were selected through sampling from Haeundae-public health center. The subjects received Doin Gigong Exercise twice a week for 90 minutes for 12 weeks. To evaluate the effects of Doin Gigong Exercise, flexibleness of articulation and mood status in elderly woman were measured at before and 12 weeks after program, The pain of arthritis significantly decreased (p<0.05) after the exercise program. The values for shoulder flexibility (left: p<0.05) significantly increased after the exercise program. The values for left-right knee flexion and extension flexibility(left knee extention: p<0.05) significantly increased after the exercise program. The values for mood status significantly decreased (p<0.01), the values for self-confidence and self- benefit significantly increased(p<0.01) after the exercise program.

Objective : This study intends to identify the effects of the Doin Gigong Exercise on the shoulder-arm pain in Women. Methods : The study was performed with nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. A total of 45 subjects were divided into 25 persons in experimental groups and 20 persons in contrastive group by convenience sampling. The data were collected by using questionnaires and measured values from June, 2004, to August, 2004. Results : The results of the study are as follows: 1. The homogeneity testing revealed that most study variables were equally distributed between experimental and control groups. 2. The first hypothesis: The experimental group who performed the Doin Gigong Exercise and who decreased on the subjective symptom scale was supported(t=10.245, p=.000). 3. The scond hypothesis : The experimental group who received Doin Gigong Exercise and who decreased on the subjective pain(VAS) was supported(t=6.816, p=.000). 4. The third hypothesis: The experimental group who received Doin Gigong Exercise and who decreased on the muscular stiffness measured techniques(UNIQUE) was supported (t=7.114, p.000). Conclusions : Based on the results described above, it is considered that the Doin Gigon Exercise is clearly effective in all an values of the 5 measured. Therefore, the Doin Gigong Exercise can be thought of as effective nursing intervention for the reduction of shoulder-arm pain in women.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Doin Gigong Exercise program on HRV in elderly women. This study was one group in a pre-test / post-test desgian with repeated measures. The experimental group of 27 patients were selected through sampling from H-public health center in the P-city. The subjects received Doin Gigong Exercise twice a week for 50 minutes for 12 weeks. All of the subjects were examined on the congnition assessment tool. Prior and post surveys were measured before and after the experiment. Among the stress assessment, RRV tachogram's 'mean RR' was very significantly increased after Qigong Exercise(p<0.01), and the 'mean HRV' was significantly decreased after Qigong Exercise(p<0.05). But the SDNN was not significantly increased after Qigong Exercise. And TP(RRV power's total power) was significantly increased after Qigong Exercise(p<0.01). VLF and HF was significantly increased, and LF was significantly decreased after Qigong Exercise(p<0.05). In the RRV's Phase Plot, RMSSD and SDSD were significantly increased after Qigong Exercise(0.05). As mentioned above; the oriental medicine Qigong Exercise program was identified the effects of the heart rate and anti-stress.
