Different genes may be involved in distal and local sensitization: A genome‐wide gene‐based association study and meta‐analysis (2021)
Journal Article
Kouraki, A., Doherty, M., Fernandes, G. S., Zhang, W., Walsh, D. A., Kelly, A., & Valdes, A. M. (2022). Different genes may be involved in distal and local sensitization: A genome‐wide gene‐based association study and meta‐analysis. European Journal of Pain, 26(3), 740-753. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejp.1902

Background: Neuropathic pain symptoms and signs of increased pain sensitization in osteoarthritis (OA) patients may explain persistent pain after total joint replacement (TJR). Therefore, identifying genetic markers associated with pain sensitization...

Identifying multiple knee pain trajectories and the prediction of opioid and NSAID medication used: A latent class growth approach (2021)
Journal Article
Haybatollahi, S. M., James, R. J., Fernandes, G., Valdes, A., Doherty, M., Zhang, W., …Ferguson, E. (2022). Identifying multiple knee pain trajectories and the prediction of opioid and NSAID medication used: A latent class growth approach. Pain Practice, 22(2), 210-221. https://doi.org/10.1111/papr.13082

Background: Knee pain is a major source of distress and disability, with pain progression highly variable between individuals. Previous studies defining pain trajectories have all used a single measure of pain, and these differ across studies. Differ...

Fidelity assessment of nurse-led non-pharmacological package of care for knee pain in the package development phase of a feasibility randomised controlled trial based in secondary care: A mixed methods study (2021)
Journal Article
Nomikos, P. A., Hall, M., Fuller, A., Millar, B., Ogollah, R., Valdes, A., …Abhishek, A. (2021). Fidelity assessment of nurse-led non-pharmacological package of care for knee pain in the package development phase of a feasibility randomised controlled trial based in secondary care: A mixed methods study. BMJ Open, 11(7), Article e045242. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2020-045242

Objectives To evaluate fidelity of delivery of a nurse-led non-pharmacological complex intervention for knee pain. Setting Secondary care. Single-centre study. Study design Mixed methods study. Participants Eighteen adults with chronic knee pain. Inc...

Using heterogeneity in disease to understand the relationship between health and personality (2021)
Journal Article
James, R., Walsh, D., & Ferguson, E. (2022). Using heterogeneity in disease to understand the relationship between health and personality. Psychology, Health and Medicine, 27(7), 1582-1595. https://doi.org/10.1080/13548506.2021.1903057

The aim of this study was to compare the relationship between two health outcomes (pain and self-reported health) and personality while accounting for heterogeneity in arthritic disease. Traditionally health psychology and other health research has t... Read More about Using heterogeneity in disease to understand the relationship between health and personality.

The Central Aspects of Pain in the Knee (CAP-Knee) questionnaire; a mixed-methods study of a self-report instrument for assessing central mechanisms in people with knee pain (2021)
Journal Article
Akin-Akinyosoye, K., James, R. J. E., Mcwilliams, D. F., Millar, B., Das Nair, R., Ferguson, E., & Walsh, D. A. (2021). The Central Aspects of Pain in the Knee (CAP-Knee) questionnaire; a mixed-methods study of a self-report instrument for assessing central mechanisms in people with knee pain. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 29(6), 802-814. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2021.02.562

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...

Association of subchondral bone marrow lesion localization with weight-bearing pain in people with knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (2021)
Journal Article
Aso, K., Shahtaheri, S. M., McWilliams, D. F., & Walsh, D. A. (2021). Association of subchondral bone marrow lesion localization with weight-bearing pain in people with knee osteoarthritis: data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative. 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...
