Effects of tDCS and tUS on Pain Perception in OA of the Knee

Subjects will receive 20 minutes of either active or sham tDCS at intensity of 2mA. The anodal electrode will be placed over the primary motor cortex contralateral to the most painful side, and the cathodal electrode will be placed over the contralateral supraorbital area. In the sham group, the tDCS device will not be active for the full 20 minutes.
