Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Sixty eligible individuals who meet the American College of Rheumatology criteria for knee OA will be randomized into Tai Chi or wellness education interventions for 12 weeks. The investigators will compare changes in resting state functional connectivity of the cognitive control network, and functional magnetic resonance imaging responses to pressure pain and brain morphometry, as well as their association with clinical outcomes. The findings will lead to the establishment of a new treatment paradigm in OA and have broad application to the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Tai Chi
The intervention will delivered via a secure Zoom video platform. One of two Tai Chi instructors will teach each of the classes. Tai Chi instructors will be selected prior to study start on the basis of familiarity with our previous Tai Chi protocols and experience working with OA patients.
Mind-body exercise and education
The intervention will delivered via a secure Zoom video platform.
Wellness Education
At each session, a variety of health professionals will provide a didactic lesson on a topic relating to knee OA. An informational brochure on knee OA education is presented to all participants during the first session. Each session will last 60 minutes including a 10-minute instructor-led program of stretching or flexibility exercises via a zoom platform.
Mind-body exercise and education
The intervention will delivered via a secure Zoom video platform.
