First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This early-phase study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help reduce both knee arthritis pain and depression in older adults. Thirty volunteers aged 50 and older with chronic knee pain and moderate-to-severe depression will receive rTMS while also taking part in Tai Chi. The main goal is to see if the treatment is safe, tolerable, and feasible for a larger future study.
