Osteoarthritis joint pain: The cytokine connection

TL;DR: The presence of inflammatory cytokines in the osteoarthritic joint raises the question whether they may directly participate in pain generation by acting on innervating joint nociceptors, and what is known about their contribution to joint pain based on studies in animal models.

Mitigation of Systemic Oxidative Stress by Curcuminoids in Osteoarthritis: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial

TL;DR: Changes in serum activities of SOD and concentrations of GSH and MDA during the course of trial were significantly correlated, suggesting antioxidant effects may account for the reported therapeutic effects of curcuminoids in relieving osteoarthritis symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osteoarthritis: the genesis of pain.

TL;DR: A better understanding of these multifactorial components of OA pain will lead to the development of more effective and safer pain treatments, making targeted therapy problematic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of Osteoarthritic Pain. Studies in Humans and Experimental Models.

TL;DR: Considering the local factors in the joint, the neuronal processes and the comorbidities, a better definition of OA pain phenotypes may become possible, including the combination of different neuronal mechanisms which may define the particular pain phenotype in an OA patient.

Validation study of WOMAC: a health status instrument for measuring clinically important patient relevant outcomes to antirheumatic drug therapy in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.

TL;DR: WOMAC is a disease-specific purpose built high performance instrument for evaluative research in osteoarthritis clinical trials and fulfil conventional criteria for face, content and construct validity, reliability, responsiveness and relative efficiency.

Projections of primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty in the United States from 2005 to 2030.

TL;DR: These large projected increases in demand for total hip and knee arthroplasties provide a quantitative basis for future policy decisions related to the numbers of orthopaedic surgeons needed to perform these procedures and the deployment of appropriate resources to serve this need.

Years lived with disability (YLDs) for 1160 sequelae of 289 diseases and injuries 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

TL;DR: Prevalence and severity of health loss were weakly correlated and age-specific prevalence of YLDs increased with age in all regions and has decreased slightly from 1990 to 2010, but population growth and ageing have increased YLD numbers and crude rates over the past two decades.

Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (vol 380, pg 2197, 2012)

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive update of disease burden worldwide incorporating a systematic reassessment of disease and injury-specific epidemiology has been done since the 1990 study, and the authors aimed to calculate disease burden globally and for 21 regions for 1990, 2005, and 2010 with methods to enable meaningful comparisons over time.

Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010

TL;DR: The results for 1990 and 2010 supersede all previously published Global Burden of Disease results and highlight the importance of understanding local burden of disease and setting goals and targets for the post-2015 agenda taking such patterns into account.
