Brain Stimulation and Yoga for Knee Osteoarthritis Pain Relief

This study is testing a new combination approach to help manage knee osteoarthritis pain. You would receive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)—a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique—paired with yoga sessions. The researchers believe that combining these two approaches may help retrain how your nervous system processes pain, offering relief without relying on medications alone.

Knee osteoarthritis pain is often unpredictable and disruptive, and current treatments like exercise alone don't work well enough for many people. This trial exists because researchers want to find a medication-free way to address the underlying nervous system changes that keep chronic pain going.
