Baseline self-report ‘central mechanisms’ trait predicts persistent knee pain in the Knee Pain in the Community (KPIC) cohort (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 The Authors Objectives: We investigated whether baseline scores for a self-report trait linked to central mechanisms predict 1 year pain outcomes in the Knee Pain in the Community cohort. METHOD: 1471 participants reported knee pain at baselin...

Disease Activity Flares and Pain Flares in an early rheumatoid arthritis inception cohort; characteristics, antecedents and sequelae (2019)
Journal Article

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...

PAIN AND FATIGUE IN EARLY RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS - A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY (2019)
Presentation / Conference

O.S. Ifesemen, D.F. McWilliams, A. Young, P.D.W. Kiely, D.A. Walsh Background and Aims Pain and fatigue are prevalent and impair quality of life in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). They might be caused by multiple and overlapping mechanis... Read More about PAIN AND FATIGUE IN EARLY RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS - A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY.

CGRP and painful pathologies other than headache (2019)
Book Chapter

© 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. CGRP has long been suspected as a mediator of arthritis pain, although evidence that CGRP directly mediates human musculoskeletal pain remains circumstantial. This chapter describes in depth the evidence surrou... Read More about CGRP and painful pathologies other than headache.

Identifying predictors of placebo response in osteoarthritis clinical trials of three agents with different routes of delivery: a meta-analysis using individual patient data (2019)
Presentation / Conference

Disease Activity Flares and Pain Flares in an early rheumatoid arthritis inception cohort; characteristics, antecedants and sequelae (2019)
Presentation / Conference

Background RA flares are common and disabling. They are described in terms of worsening pain, swelling, or other symptoms. We aimed to determine characteristics, antecedants and sequelae of painful and inflammatory flare subtypes during the first 11...

Self-report central mechanisms trait predicts knee pain persistence in the Knee Pain In the Community (KPIC) cohort (2019)
Presentation / Conference

Quantitative sensory testing and predicting outcomes for musculoskeletal pain, disability, and negative affect: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2019)
Journal Article

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...

Trajectories of pain predict disabilities affecting daily living in arthritis (2019)
Journal Article

Purpose: To examine the interplay between pain and disability in arthritis when adjusting for patient heterogeneity in pain progression. There is consistent evidence to suggest that people experience osteoarthritis heterogeneously, with subgroups of...

Contribution of sensory nerves within osteochondral channels to pain in human and rat knee osteoarthritis (2019)
Journal Article

The polyadenylation inhibitor cordycepin reduces pain, inflammation and joint pathology in rodent models of osteoarthritis (2019)
Journal Article

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 role of polyadenylation in OA...

Associations of symptomatic knee OA with histopathologic features in subchondral bone (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, American College of Rheumatology Objective: Subchondral bone and the osteochondral junction are thought to contribute to osteoarthritis (OA) knee pain. We undertook this study to identify osteochondral pathologies specifically associated with... Read More about Associations of symptomatic knee OA with histopathologic features in subchondral bone.

Discrete trajectories of resolving and persistent pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis despite undergoing treatment for inflammation: results from three UK cohorts (2019)
Journal Article

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an example of human chronic inflammatory pain. Modern treatments suppress inflammation, yet pain remains a major problem for many people with RA. We hypothesised that discrete RA subgroups might display favourable or unfa...
