Objective To analyze the characteristics and reporting quality of the registered health Qigong-related clinical trials, and to analyze the progress and shortcomings of health Qigong-related clinical trials.Methods Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) and ClinicalTrials.gov were electronically searched to collect the health Qigong-related clinical trials from inception to October 15^st, 2020. Characteristics of trials were analyzed in the aspects of basic information, funding source, study content and more. The quality of registration was evaluated by WHO Trial Registration Data Set (TRDS).Results A total of 121 registered clinical trials were included. The annual registration quantity has been increasing with a peak (33.06%) reached in 2020. Among the registered trials, Baduanjin exercise- related studies accounted for the highest proportion (65.29%). The quantity of studies registered in Shanghai accounted for the most (29.75%). The largest contribution of registered trials was from Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (5.79%). 50.83% funds in trials were originated from universities and hospitals. Type 2 diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were the most studied diseases in the registered trials. 90.08% trials were designed as randomised parallel control studies, and the sample sizes of trials were concentrated between 30 and 100 (71.07%), and the age of the subjects was distributed over 40 years old (46.15%). The average quality of registration completion of the two registries was 87.44%.Conclusions At present, the general trend of health Qigong clinical research is positive. However, these trials contain unbalanced attributes such as the research type of health Qigong, distribution of registration area and organization, allocation of funds, and age composition of subjects. The design of clinical trials and registration details are needed to be improved.
