U.S., June 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07668674) titled 'Functional Brain MRI to Understand Pain Phenotypes in Knee Osteoarthritis' on April 24.
Brief Summary: Some people with knee osteoarthritis (gonarthrosis) experience pain differently. In some, the pain is described as "nociceptive" (directly related to the joint), while in others it has "neuropathic" characteristics (related to nerve function).
The goal of this multicenter, cross-sectional and comparative study is to compare resting brain activity in a brain region called the anterior insula among female patients with painful knee osteoarthritis who experience nociceptive pain compared to those with neuropathic pain.
