A new study snapshot and updated ethics and regulatory documentation are now available for the TAICHIKNEE trial. One year into the study, and after receiving approval to transition from the planning phase to the implementation phase, the research team reviewed and updated the minutes of their initial consultation with the Ethics and Regulatory Core.
New resources for TAICHIKNEE include:
TAICHIKNEE will compare the effects of web-based tai chi interventions versus routine care for individuals experiencing knee pain due to osteoarthritis. The practice of tai chi integrates physical, psychosocial, and behavioral components and has exhibited clinically significant improvements in chronic knee osteoarthritis pain conditions. The results of the study will inform widespread adoption of mind-body approaches for knee osteoarthritis across healthcare systems.
TAICHIKNEE is supported within the NIH Pragmatic Trials Collaboratory through a cooperative agreement from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine. Learn more about TAICHIKNEE.
