简要总结
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Numeric Rating Score (NRS) of Pain
时间窗: baseline, week 2 (after 10 tDCS sessions)
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.
次要结局
- Change in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC).(baseline, week 2 (after 10 tDCS sessions))
