Study Summary

This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether a 2 week regimen of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) paired with mindfulness-based meditation (MBM) can improve pain modulation, reduce clinical pain, and alleviate osteoarthritis (OA)-related symptoms in patients with knee OA.

Primary Outcome

The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) is a subjective measure of pain intensity. The NRS total score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 100 (most intense pain imaginable). Change in NRS = Week 2 (post-intervention) NRS - Baseline (pre-intervention) NRS. A decrease in NRS score indicates improvement.

Interventions

  • DEVICE active tDCS paired with active MBM
  • DEVICE sham tDCS paired with sham MBM
  • DEVICE sham tDCS paired with active MBM
  • DEVICE active tDCS paired with sham MBM
