Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim is to improve understanding of the assessment of pain experience in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. The current study will be divided into two parts. In Study 1, the investigators will analyse existing questionnaires relevant to the mechanisms and therapeutic targets of knee OA to establish discrete dimensions that discriminate between the different mechanisms of pain. On the basis of this analysis, the investigators will refine the questionnaires to maximise their sensitivity to knee OA. In Study 2, the investigators will seek to confirm the factor structure identified in the questionnaires in Study 1 and explore potential mediator and moderator variables between pain and quality of life using the refined measures. The investigators will also evaluate Quantitative Sensory Testing as a predictor of OA knee pain.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Knee osteoarthritis

Patients will have osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee defined and scored radiologically in Study 1. Patients in Study 2 will also have OA of the knee, but a clinical diagnosis will suffice. All patients will report knee pain.

Questionnaires

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will be given questionnaires relevant to their condition to complete. In Study 2 and a sub-study of Study 1, patients will be invited to take part in Quantitative Sensory Testing.
