Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate changes in knee pain, function, and related indices in older adults with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, following an 8-week meditation program.Methods: Eleven community-dwelling adults with physician-confirmed knee OA were enrolled in the study. Core outcomes included recommended measures of knee pain (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index [WOMAC] and 11-point numeric rating scale [NRS]), function (WOMAC), and perceived global status (patient global assessment). Additional outcomes included: perceived stress; stress hardiness; mood; sleep; and sympathetic activation. Following baseline assessment, participants were trained briefly in mantra meditation and instructed to meditate for 15–20 minutes twice daily for 8 weeks, and to record each practice session on a daily log. Changes over time were analyzed using paired t-tests.Results: Nine participants (82%) completed the study. Participants had statistically significant improvements in all core outcomes: knee pain (WOMAC: 47.7%±25.1% reduction, P= 0.001; NRS: 42.6%±34.6% reduction, P< 0.01); function (44.8%±29.9, P= 0.001); and global status (45.7%±36.5, P= 0.01); as well as knee stiffness (P= 0.005), mood (P= 0.05), and a WOMAC proxy for sleep disturbance (P= 0.005).Conclusions: Findings from this pilot study suggest that a mantra meditation program may help reduce knee pain and dysfunction, as well as improving mood and related outcomes in adults with knee OA.
