Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), a degenerative joint disease marked by chronic pain, is associated with systemic inflammation that may extend to neurocognitive dysfunction. While chronic low-grade inflammation in KOA has been implicated in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a prodromal stage of dementia, the mediating role of inflammation in brain functional reorganization remains unclear. This multimodal approach advances understanding of neuroinflammatory mechanisms in osteoarthritis and provides a framework for early detection of cognitive vulnerability in KOA populations.
