The included 234 articles were statistically analyzed in terms of disease research hotspots, high-yield institutions and authors, journal distribution, trial design, and trial results.Results The results showed that in recent years, international Taijiquan clinical trials have continued to be carried out,with the most in the United States. Yang style Taijiquan, especially the 24-style Taijiquan, was the most common practice style. Studies focused on Taijiquan to improve the function of the exercise system of the middle-aged and elderly people and the prevention and control of chronic diseases.Conclusion Taijiquan research will be a hotspot in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in the future.
