Home-administered pre-surgical psychological intervention for knee osteoarthritis (HAPPiKNEES): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
(2016-01-27)
Background: Knee replacement surgery reduces pain for many people with osteoarthritis (OA). However, surgical outcomes are partly dependent on patients' moods, and those with depression or anxiety have worse outcomes. ...
Erosive and osteoarthritic structural progression in early rheumatoid arthritis.
(2016-08)
Objectives. To investigate factors associated with joint damage in early RA, and how comorbid OA might influence patient assessment and outcomes. Methods. Baseline radiographs of hands and feet from 512 participants in the ...
Histopathological subgroups in knee osteoarthritis
(2017-01)
OBJECTIVE: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a heterogeneous, multi-tissue disease. We hypothesised that different histopathological features characterise different stages during knee OA progression, and that discrete subgroups can ...
The polyadenylation inhibitor cordycepin reduces pain, inflammation and joint pathology in rodent models of osteoarthritis.
(2019-03-18)
Clinically, osteoarthritis (OA) pain is significantly associated with synovial inflammation. Identification of the mechanisms driving inflammation could reveal new targets to relieve this prevalent pain state. Herein, a ...
Pain sensitivity in healthy volunteers and people with knee Osteoarthritis
(2012)
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis worldwide and a major cause of pain and disability, and yet underlying mechanisms of OA pain are not entirely understood. There is compelling evidence ...
Molecular expression patterns in the synovium and their association with advanced symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
(2019-04)
OBJECTIVE: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major source of knee pain. Mechanisms of OA knee pain are incompletely understood but include synovial pathology. We aimed to identify molecular expression patterns in the synovium ...
The impact of anxiety on chronic musculoskeletal pain and the role of astrocyte activation.
(2019-03)
Anxiety and depression are associated with increased pain responses in chronic pain states. The extent to which anxiety drives chronic pain, or vice versa, remains an important question that has implications for analgesic ...
Quantitative sensory testing in painful osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
(2012-10-20)
Summary: Objective: To systematically review the use of Quantitative sensory testing (QST) in pain characterisation (phenotyping) in Osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Six bibliographic databases (Medline, Embase, Amed, Cinahl, ...
