Brain stimulation and yoga for knee pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study combines a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) with yoga to see if it helps reduce knee pain and improve movement in people with knee osteoarthritis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 45 years or older.
- You must have knee osteoarthritis or knee pain that gets worse with movement, with little or no morning stiffness.

This pilot study tests if combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with Tai Chi can help knee arthritis pain and improve depression. It compares these two treatments to see which works better for people with both pain and low mood.
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining Baduanjin (a guided mind-body movement) with neuromodulation can improve knee osteoarthritis symptoms and function. It compares education-based stretching/control and uses MRI scanning as part of the research.
This trial tests whether a yoga program can improve daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help reduce pain and stiffness while improving mobility.
This study tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to see if it can reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis. It might help people who have had knee pain for more than 3 months and are looking for a non-drug option.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (called transcranial direct current stimulation) can improve recovery after knee replacement surgery. If you are having a knee replacement for arthritis, this may help reduce pain and speed up your rehabilitation.
This study tests two treatments together for people with Alzheimer's who also have chronic knee pain: a gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) and online chair yoga. The goal is to see if these can reduce knee pain and improve daily life.
