This study evaluates whether a 3-week thermal spa program can help reduce knee osteoarthritis pain and improve function. You'll be asked to attend treatment at a specific spa center in France and complete follow-up visits to see how the treatment affects your symptoms.
This study looks at how knee pain signals travel from the bone to the brain, and it uses advanced imaging to understand this connection. If you have severe knee osteoarthritis and are about to have knee replacement surgery, you may be able to join and help researchers learn more about pain.
This study uses advanced brain scans to understand how pain and recovery change after knee replacement surgery. It may help researchers develop better ways to manage pain after surgery.
This study looks at nerve-related pain in people with knee osteoarthritis and how it affects their pain level and daily function. It may help understand if nerve pain is a key factor in your knee OA symptoms.
This study tests how well different pain medicines work for knee osteoarthritis and looks at brain patterns to understand why some people get more relief. It may help you find a treatment that works best for you.
This study looks at how knee osteoarthritis or other types of knee arthritis progress over time, using blood tests and X-rays. It aims to find markers that could predict whether the disease will get worse, which may help guide treatment decisions.
