The primary aim of this study was to examine the beneficial effects of two novel treatments for Gulf War Veteran's Illness (Tai Chi and Wellness intervention) and to establish the efficacy of these mind-body approaches to symptom reduction. In March 2020 after 53 Veterans were randomized, this trial was halted due to the onset of COVID-19. In late 2020, we shifted from conducting an in-person study to a fully remote study with interventions delivered via synchronous video teleconferencing. We then randomized an additional 61 Veterans for a study grand total of 114 Veterans.
