What this trial studies

This interventional trial enrolls adults aged 18–65 with a psychiatrist-diagnosed panic disorder to receive a combined Qigong (Baduanjin) and structured exercise program. Key exclusions are other psychiatric diagnoses and significant neurological, cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal, visual, or hearing impairments that would prevent participation. Outcomes will be measured with symptom scales and functional quality-of-life assessments before and after the intervention. The protocol is delivered in person at a single center to determine feasibility and symptom change associated with the exercise program.
