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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals aged 40-84 diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and experiencing pain for at least six months.
Not a fit: Patients with knee pain due to other rheumatological diseases or recent trauma will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of the psychological and sensory factors affecting pain in knee osteoarthritis, leading to improved treatment strategies.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on related factors, this specific correlation has not been extensively explored, making it a novel approach.
