Tai Chi which holistically integrates physical and cognitive functions offers the possibility not only of alleviating pain but also improving attention and mobility in the many older adults who have chronic multisite pain. This proposed full-size randomized controlled Tai Chi trial is a direct extension of the investigators' previous work examining chronic pain, attention demands, mobility and falls in the older population, and is built on the investigators' National Institute on Aging-supported Tai Chi feasibility and acceptability pilot studies among older adults with multisite pain and risk for falls. The goal of this single-blinded randomized controlled trial is to examine the effects of a 24-week Tai Chi intervention on chronic pain, cognition, mobility, fear of falling, and fall rate in older adults with multisite pain and at risk for falls. The results of this study will provide a foundation to establish the clinical significance of Tai Chi in the management of chronic multisite pain and to explore the mechanisms through which Tai Chi improves chronic pain symptoms and lowers fall rate in at-risk older adults.",[54,55],"Chronic Pain","Falls",[15,54,55,57],"Older Adults","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-11",{"date":61,"type":62},"2026-06-15","ACTUAL",{"date":64,"type":48},"2026-08-01",{"date":66,"type":48},"2030-07-31",{"name":5,"class":6}]
