The Use of Artificial Intelligence, Tai Chi and Qigong to Treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

This study illustrates how medical professionals can utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to gather basic information
easily and quickly without first referring to a medical database such as PubMed. AI can be used as an efficient
time-saving tool to gather information about a medical topic that might be unfamiliar. It can be the first step in a
two-step process. This article also introduces the reader to the use of tai chi and qigong, two tools in the toolbox
of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that are being increasingly incorporated into Western medical practices
as supplements to traditional treatments for a wide variety of ailments. Microsoft Copilot gathered basic
information about the use of tai chi and qigong in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. Additional
information was then obtained from the PubMed database and several studies were summarized. Prior studies
have indicated that tai chi and qigong can be used as beneficial supplements to traditional Western medicine in
the treatment of PTSD.
