Imagine you have a trusty toolbox with different tools, each serving a unique purpose. Well, researchers have discovered a new tool to help combat the challenges of osteoarthritis (OA): non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS)! Just like using the right tool for the job, NIBS targets specific areas of the brain to regulate cortical excitability and oscillatory rhythm, offering relief to OA patients. This exciting technology has shown promising therapeutic effects and mechanisms in treating OA, bringing hope to those affected. The elderly population, who often bear the brunt of OA, stand to benefit greatly from this non-invasive approach. By summarizing the current research, we now have a better understanding of NIBS’s potential as an effective treatment choice for OA. However, there is still more to explore and study in this field. Further research holds the key to unlocking even more benefits of NIBS for OA patients. Ready to dive deeper into this fascinating research? Check out the full article for all the details!
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, the prevalence of OA is increasing, and the elderly are the most common in patients with OA. OA has a severe impact on the daily life of patients, this increases the demand for treatment of OA. In recent years, the application of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has attracted extensive attention. It has been confirmed that NIBS plays an important role in regulating cortical excitability and oscillatory rhythm in specific brain regions. In this review, we summarized the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of different NIBS techniques in OA, clarified the potential of NIBS as a treatment choice for OA, and provided prospects for further research in the future.
