Abstract

Background and Aim: Since Stroke increases pro-inflammatory cytokines and affects Sleep quality, the effect of Tai Chi training on Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α ) serum levels and Sleep quality in women with Stroke were studied in this research. Materials and Methods: Twenty women in Qom city with Stroke (mean age: 65. 80± 3. 55y, weight: 68. 41± 14. 00kg and body mass index: 26. 33± 5. 15kg. m2) were voluntarily chosen and randomly divided into experimental (10 patients) and control groups (10 patients). Experimental group were trained 6 weeks, three time per week for 60 minutes, but during this period, the control group did not participate in any physical activity. Serum TNF-α was analyzed in pretest and post-testing all subjects, during the fasting state. To measure the serum levels of TNF-α , a TNF-α kit from the China-USA Casabio tech Company, with a sensitivity of 1. 95 pg/ml, was used; Also Sleep quality was assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep quality index. Data were analyzed using the independent samples t-test and paired samples t-test (p≤ 0. 05). Results: Tai Chi group showed a significant improvement in serum TNF-α (p<0. 007). Despite the improvement in Sleep quality, no significant differences were observed between the two groups (p>0. 05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that Tai Chi can be considered as a useful intervention to improve women inflammatory status with Stroke.
