Knee Replacement Recovery with Brain Stimulation
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation device (tDCS) to see if it can improve recovery and reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. You will use a headset at home along with your usual recovery plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You are scheduled for a total knee replacement for severe arthritis.
- You have a smartphone or tablet that can run the study app (iOS 10+ or Android 5+).
- You have no history of brain surgery, seizures, stroke, or metal/devices in your head.
- You have not been diagnosed with a sleep disorder in the past year.

This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help military personnel (active or veteran) who have chronic nerve pain and poor sleep. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and improve sleep quality.
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.
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation called tDCS can improve how your brain controls leg muscles and speeds up recovery after ACL surgery.
This study tests whether early brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with rehab can help prevent pain after a stroke. It's for people who have had a stroke within the last 7 to 45 days in specific brain areas and have some movement or sensation problems.
This trial uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see if it can reduce chronic pain in people with certain pain conditions. You would self-administer the treatment and report your results.
This trial tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve knee function and reduce pain in people with long-term patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee). It may help by calming pain signals in the brain.
