This study examined arthritis self-efficacy and self-efficacy for resisting eating as predictors of pain, disability, and eating behaviors in overweight or obese patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Patients (N=174) with a body mass index between 25 and 42 completed measures of arthritis-related self-efficacy, weight-related self-efficacy, pain, physical disability, psychological disability,...
Leech therapy has been shown to be effective for symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of leech therapy in another type of osteoarthritis, osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint (thumb saddle joint). Thirty-two women with symptomatic painful osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint and who scored>40mm on a 100mm VAS pain...
A prognostic approach to defining chronic pain has been proposed as an alternative to traditional definitions based on retrospective duration of pain. While this new approach performs well in low back pain (LBP), headache and orofacial pain, it is not known whether it translates to regional pain syndromes with an underlying pathological component, such as osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated the performance...

It has been demonstrated that the relationship between pain and sleep produces changes in sleep patterns and pain perception. However, electrophysiological studies in animal models of pain are limited. The current study examined the effect of chronic articular pain on sleep patterns in an experimental model of OA. Rats were...
