Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if anodal tDCS stimulation over M1 may decrease chronic knee OA pain in elderly subjects with defective CPM. In addition, this trial will help to investigate the role of central sensitization in knee OA and evaluate how tDCS stimulation may affect it.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Active Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

Subjects will undergo 15 sessions of tDCS stimulation, 1x per day at 20 minutes per session, of up to 2mA. During active stimulation, the current will be active for the full 20 minutes.

DEVICE

Sham Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

Subjects will undergo 15 sessions of tDCS stimulation, 1x per day at 20 minutes per session, of up to 2mA. However, during sham stimulation (placebo) the current will not be active for the full 20 minutes
