Zur Erforschung der Effekte von Qi Gong wie auch Tai Chi wurde in den letzten Jahrzehnten eine Vielzahl von wissenschaftlichen Studien mit unterschiedlichen Fragestellungen durchgeführt und zwar nicht nur zum Einsatz von Qi Gong als Selbstübeverfahren, sondern auch über den Einsatz von externem Qi Gong (Qi-Übertragung oder Qi Gong Healing). Die nachfolgende Liste an Studien soll Ihnen als Ansatzpunkt für Ihre eigenständige Informationssuche dienen. Die Schulmedizin und Schulwissenschaft erkennen aufgrund ihrer begrenzten Sichtweise die aufgeführten Forschungsergebnisse in Teilen oder Ihrer Gänze sicherlich nicht an. Ich empfehle Ihnen sich nach Sichtung aller Ihnen zugänglichen Informationen Ihr eigenes, unabhängiges Urteil zu bilden.
