A systematic review and meta-analysis of Liuzijue in stable patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the effectiveness of Liuzijue exercise on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the stable phase.

Methods

We searched six electronic bibliographic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wan Fang Data) from inception to August 2018. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included if they evaluated the effect of Liuzijue exercise on stable COPD. Cochrane Collaboration risk-of-bias tool (Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0) was used to assess the risk of bias of included RCTs. Meta-analysis was performed using the Review Manager software (RevMan V.5.3.5) provided by the Cochrane Collaboration. Outcomes assessed included dyspnea, exercise capacity, lung function, and quality of life.

Results

Fourteen RCTs invol
