This trial tests if learning about chronic pain can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better. You'll join a program that teaches you about pain and how to manage it.
This study looks at how physical, psychological, and social factors affect people with knee osteoarthritis. You won't receive any treatment, but the information you provide may help improve future care.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to better understand why some people with knee osteoarthritis feel different types of pain. By understanding these pain patterns, doctors hope to improve treatments and tailor them to each person's needs.
This study looks at how walking patterns relate to knee pain from osteoarthritis. It aims to understand individual differences to improve future treatments.
This study looks at how knee osteoarthritis (a common condition where the cushioning in the knee joint wears down) affects physical function, even when people report similar levels of pain. It aims to understand why some people with the same pain might have more difficulty with daily activities, which could lead to better targeted treatments.
This study looks at how moving your arms and legs might help reduce pain for people with knee osteoarthritis. If you join, you will do some light exercise so researchers can see if it helps your knee feel better.
