本研究观察了轻度原发性高血压患者气功10周后血压、尿儿茶酚胺及排尿功能的变化。58例患者自愿参加这项研究，并随机分为气功组（n = 29）或对照组（n = 29）。收缩压和舒张压显着下降，在气功组这样，都成为显着低于10周后，在气功比对照组.此外，有去甲肾上腺素的显着减少，metanetrin和肾上腺素相比，在气功组的基线值.气功组的用力肺活量和每秒用力呼气量增加，而对照组则无明显变化。提示气功能稳定交感神经系统，对调节血压和尿儿茶酚胺水平，改善中老年轻度高血压患者的排尿功能有积极作用。
This study was designed to measure changes in blood pressure (BP), urinary catecholamines and ventilatory functions of patients with mild essential hypertension after 10 weeks of Qigong (Shuxinpingxuegong). Fifty-eight patients volunteered to participate in this study and were randomly divided into either a Qigong group (n = 29), or a control group (n = 29). Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly in the Qigong group such that both became significantly lower after 10 weeks in the Qigong than in the control group. Also, there was a significant reduction of norepinephrine, metanephrine and epinephrine compared to baseline values in the Qigong group. The ventilatory functions, forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume per sec, were increased in the Qigong group but not the control. These results suggest that Qigong may stabilize the sympathetic nervous system is effective in modulating levels of urinary catecholamines and BP positively, and in improving ventilatory functions in mildly hypertensive middle-aged patients.
