OBJECTIVES: Pain is the prevailing symptom of knee osteoarthritis. Central sensitisation creates discordance between pain and joint pathology. We previously reported a central pain mechanisms trait derived from 8 discrete characteristics: neuropathic...

Arthritis Research and Therapy, 23, Article 35. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13075-021-02422-0

© 2021, The Author(s). Background: Subchondral bone marrow lesions (BMLs) detected on MRI in knee osteoarthritis (OA) are associated with knee pain. The prevalence and progression of subchondral BMLs are increased by mechanical knee load. However, as...

BMC Rheumatology, 3, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41927-019-0100-9

Background
RA flares are common and disabling. They are described in terms of worsening inflammation but pain and inflammation are often discordant. To inform treatment decisions, we investigated whether inflammatory and pain flares are discrete ent...
