And the analytical findings demonstrated that all nine exercise modalities could reduce the pain level in patients with NSNP, and stability training significantly improved NP level in patients with NSNP (surface area under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA)\u2009=\u200974.5). Pilates, resistance, stretch, stability, yoga, Qi gong, and Tai chi improved neck dysfunction in patients with NSNP; however, yoga was the best modality (SUCRA\u2009=\u200984.4). Ba Duan Jin, resistance, stretch, Qi gong, and Tai chi improved the quality of life of patients with NSNP, among which Ba Duan Jin is effective, and significantly improved the quality of life in patients with NSNP.
