Improving Quality of Life for Adults Living With HIV and Chronic Pain
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Chronic pain is highly comorbid among the 1.2 million persons living with HIV, with recent prevalence estimates ranging from 55-67%. Needed are evidenced-based non-pharmacological interventions to improve chronic pain management and reduce the demand for opioids in the United States. The proposed research will address this need by examining the feasibility and acceptability of Tai Chi as a mind-body intervention for chronic pain management in an HIV population.
