[Abstract] Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is an osteoarthritic disease that occurs in the elderly. Traditional exercise, acupuncture, and Tui-na rehabilitation therapies are clinical approaches to alleviate KOA. MRI shows that KOA is associated with changes in brain structure and functional networks such as cortical thinning and abnormal functional connectivity of brain regions. Chinese medicine rehabilitation therapy works by restoring abnormal changes in brain function and structure in KOA patients. Therefore, this review is based on MRI technology to review and summarize it: (1) KOA pain causes cortical thinning, gray matter volume, density reduction, and other abnormal changes in the structural network of the brain; (2) KOA shows changes in functional network such as abnormal activation of specific brain regions and abnormal changes in functional connectivity of different brain regions; (3) standardized exercise training can modulate brain networks; (4) acupuncture, moxibustion, and massage can improve the functional structure of multiple brain regions. To provide new ideas for promoting the combination of traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation and imaging technology, and to relieve the symptoms of KOA and relieve the pain of patients with traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation.
