HELP Study Overview

The Helping Elders Living with Pain (HELP) Study at UMass Boston is seeking adults age 65 and older who experience chronic pain and may be at risk for falls. 

The study aims to identify ways to help older adults stay active, healthy, and independent through a six-month light exercise program. 

Participants will complete health, mobility, and thinking assessments and attend two exercise classes per week at the Boston Kroc Center.
