Commentary on New Research Related to Knee Osteoarthritis
‘Movement-evoked pain is not associated with pain at rest or physical function in knee osteoarthritis’ is an article by researchers from The Universidad de Murcia covering a cross sectional research study that delves into how pain is experienced during movement for individuals suffering from knee osteoarthritis. Pain at Rest (PAR) and Movement-evoked Pain (MEP) were compared and measured in terms of correlation, though a conclusive link between the two was not found.
In a recent commentary, Alisa Johnson and Star Booker, alongside a team of researchers from across the country, commended the researchers for their work in distinguishing movement-evoked pain from pain at rest and the contributions they made to the emerging science of movement-evoked pain while challenging thoughts and testing methods used therein. Their commentary provided insights into the study’s findings and suggested that movement-related pain may not necessarily indicate the severity of pain at rest or impact physical function in knee osteoarthritis patients while highlighting the complexity of pain experiences in this condition.
Their article, “Commentary to ‘Movement-evoked pain is not associated with pain at rest or physical function in knee osteoarthritis”, has been published in the European Journal of Pain (London, England)!
