Tai Chi Mind-Body Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis: a Pilot Single-blind Randomized Controlled Trial

Tufts Medical Center·interventional·Posted Aug 10, 2006·Updated Apr 23, 2019

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Tai Chi versus Attention Control for Knee Osteoarthritis. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and effectiveness of Tai Chi with an Attention Control intervention consisting of a stretching and wellness education program involving 40 patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. We hypothesized that the participants receiving Tai Chi would show greater improvement in knee pain, physical and psychological functioning, and health-related quality of life than participants in the Attention Control group, and that the benefit would be mediated by effects on muscle function, musculoskeletal flexibility and mental health.
