This federal Project Grant award of $632,382 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research program) supports a 5-year randomized controlled trial to examine the effects of a 6-month Tai Chi intervention on chronic pain, cognition, cognitive-motor function, fear of falling, and rate of falls in 266 older adults with multisite pain and fall risk. The trial will measure pain severity, pain interference, fear of falling, pain-related biomarkers, cognition, gait function, physical activity, and sleep at baseline, mid-point, and post-intervention. The University of Massachusetts Boston is the primary awardee and will lead the research, which builds upon their prior Tai Chi and multisite pain pilot studies funded through previous NIH grants.
