Summary

This study tested whether combining a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial direct current stimulation) with mindfulness exercises could reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. Twenty-four adults who had knee replacement took part. The goal was to see if this approach is practical and acceptable, and to get early data on whether it might lower pain and the need for painkillers.
