Quantitative sensory testing and predicting outcomes for musculoskeletal pain, disability, and negative affect: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2019)
Journal Article
Georgopoulos, V., Akin-Akinyosoye, K., Zhang, W., McWilliams, D. F., Hendrick, P., & Walsh, D. A. (2019). Quantitative sensory testing and predicting outcomes for musculoskeletal pain, disability, and negative affect: a systematic review and meta-analysis. PAIN, 160(9), 1920-1932. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001590

Hypersensitivity due to central pain mechanisms can influence recovery and lead to worse clinical outcomes, but the ability of quantitative sensory testing (QST), an index of sensitisation, to predict outcomes in chronic musculoskeletal disorders rem...

Bidirectional association between disturbed sleep and neuropathic pain symptoms: a prospective cohort study in post-total joint replacement participants (2018)
Journal Article
Stocks, J., Tang, N. K., Walsh, D. A., Warner, S. C., Harvey, H., Jenkins, W., Abhishek, A., Doherty, M., & Valdes, A. M. (2018). Bidirectional association between disturbed sleep and neuropathic pain symptoms: a prospective cohort study in post-total joint replacement participants. Journal of Pain Research, 2018(11), 1087—1093. https://doi.org/10.2147/JPR.S149830

Disturbed sleep is strongly correlated with chronic pain. The aim of this study was to examine the association between sleep disturbance and incident joint pain focusing on neuropathic pain-like symptoms. 423 individuals who had undergone total joint...

Pain in knee osteoarthritis is associated with variation in the neurokinin 1/substance P receptor (TACR 1) gene (2017)
Journal Article
Warner, S., Walsh, D. A., Laslett, L., Maciewicz, R., Soni, A., Hart, D., …Valdes, A. M. (2017). Pain in knee osteoarthritis is associated with variation in the neurokinin 1/substance P receptor (TACR 1) gene. European Journal of Pain, 21(7), 1277-1284. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejp.1027

Background: Substance P (SP) is a pain- and inflammation-related neuropeptide which preferentially binds to the neurokinin receptor 1 (NK1). SP and NK1 receptors have been implicated in joint pain, inflammation and damage in animal models and human s...

Pain prediction by serum biomarkers of bone turnover in people with knee osteoarthritis: an observational study of TRAcP5b and cathepsin K in OA (2017)
Journal Article
Nwosu, L. N., Allen, M., Wyatt, L., Huebner, J., Chapman, V., Walsh, D. A., & Kraus, V. (2017). Pain prediction by serum biomarkers of bone turnover in people with knee osteoarthritis: an observational study of TRAcP5b and cathepsin K in OA. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 25(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2017.01.002

Objectives: To investigate serum biomarkers, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAcP5b) and cathepsin K, indicative of osteoclastic bone resorption, and their relationship to pain and pain change in knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: Sera and... Read More about Pain prediction by serum biomarkers of bone turnover in people with knee osteoarthritis: an observational study of TRAcP5b and cathepsin K in OA.

Relationship between structural pathology and pain behaviour in a model of osteoarthritis (OA) (2016)
Journal Article
Nwosu, L. N., Mapp, P. I., Chapman, V., & Walsh, D. A. (2016). Relationship between structural pathology and pain behaviour in a model of osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 24(11), 1910-1917. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2016.06.012

Objectives
To address the hypothesis that different types of established OA pain behaviours have associations with different aspects of articular pathology, we investigated the relationship between structural knee joint pathology and pain behaviour...
