Tai Chi program for long-term pain and fall risk in seniors
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a Tai Chi–based exercise program can reduce long-term, widespread musculoskeletal pain in older adults, and may also help people at risk of falls. You may qualify if you’re 65+, have pain in multiple body areas, and can walk a short distance.
