Researchers at Tufts University Medical Center and Tufts School of Medicine conducted a controlled trial of individuals with symptomatic osteoarthritis. Patients were randomly assigned testimonials to 60 minutes of Tai Chi or wellness education and stretching twice weekly for 12 weeks.
Compared with the control group, patients assigned to Tai Chi exhibited significantly greater improvement in pain reduction, physical function, and vision. Researchers concluded that Tai Chi reduces pain and improves physical function, depression, and health-related quality of life for those with knee osteoarthritis.
