Journal Article
Smith, S., Georgopoulos, V., Sylvia Ifesemen, O., James, R., Ferguson, E., Wakefield, R. J., Wilson, D., Buckley, P., Platts, D., Ledbury, S., Choy, E., Pickles, T., Rutter-Locher, Z., Kirkham, B., Walsh, D., & McWilliams, D. (2025). Validity and contributions to pain from the central aspects of pain questionnaire in rheumatoid arthritis. PAIN Reports, 10(4), Article e1295. https://doi.org/10.1097/PR9.0000000000001295

Introduction:
The central nervous system (CNS) contributes to pain perception across musculoskeletal conditions. The central aspects of pain (CAP) questionnaire captures a single score associated with quantitative sensory testing (QST) evidence of...

Common inflammatory proteins linking frailty and area-level deprivation as key drivers of cardiovascular risk in women (2025)
Journal Article
Lin, Y., Louca, P., Bowyer, R. C., Kouraki, A., Rossi, N., Ni Lochlainn, M., Kelly, A., Georgopoulos, V., Williams, F. M., J. Steves, C., Falchi, M., Valdes, A. M., & Menni, C. (2025). Common inflammatory proteins linking frailty and area-level deprivation as key drivers of cardiovascular risk in women. Communications Medicine, 5, Article 301. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43856-025-01012-4

Background

Chronic inflammation is linked to frailty and deprivation, both of which are comorbid with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This study aims to identify inflammatory proteins associated with both socioeconomic deprivation and frailty, and...

Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopy and Related Surgery, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.arthro.2025.04.050

Purpose
To identify studies reporting patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) thresholds in diverse shoulder pain populations and to investigate whether patient-reported outcome measurements measuring shoulder pain severity provide similar estimates...

Comparative effectiveness of various exercise interventions on central sensitisation indices: A systematic review and network meta-analysis (2025)
Journal Article
Ibrahim, A. A. E., McWilliams, D. F., Smith, S. L., Chaplin, W. J., Salimian, M., Georgopoulos, V., Kouraki, A., & Walsh, D. A. (2025). Comparative effectiveness of various exercise interventions on central sensitisation indices: A systematic review and network meta-analysis. Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 68(4), Article 101894. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rehab.2024.101894

Background: Central sensitisation (CS) increases musculoskeletal pain. Quantitative sensory testing (QST) or self-report questionnaires might indicate CS. Indices of CS might be suppressed by exercise, although the optimal exercise regimen remains un...
