A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the correlation between somatosensory amplification, psychological-functional status, and pain levels in patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis (OA). It will include 88 participants aged 40-84 who have been diagnosed with knee OA for at least six months. Various assessment tools will be utilized, including the Somatosensory Amplification Scale, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, Visual Analog Scale for pain, Beck Depression Inventory, and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index. The study seeks to provide insights into how these factors interact and affect the overall well-being of patients with knee OA.
