Official Title: Evaluation of the Neuromodulatory Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Pain in Knee Osteoarthritis Patients: A Double Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary:
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common condition that causes long-lasting knee pain and difficulty with daily activities. Many patients have pain that is stronger than expected from joint changes because the nervous system becomes more sensitive to pain. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique that uses a small electrical current applied to the scalp to help reduce pain sensitivity.This study will test whether active tDCS over the primary motor cortex can reduce pain and improve…
