The effects of Tai Chi and neck exercises in the treatment of chronic non-specific neck pain: A randomized controlled trial

This study aimed to test the efficacy of Tai Chi for treating chronic neck pain.Subjects with chronic non-specific neck pain were randomly assigned to 12 weeks of group Tai Chi or conventional neck exercises with weekly sessions of 75-90 minutes, or a wait-list control. The primary outcome measure was pain intensity (visual analog scale, VAS). Secondary outcomes included pain on movement, functional disability, quality of life, well-being and perceived stress, postural and interoceptive awareness, satisfaction and safety.
