Association of Chronic Pain with Radiologic Severity and Central Sensitization in Hip Osteoarthritis Patients.
Abstract
Pain and joint deformity are the most common symptoms of hip osteoarthritis (OA). However, no significant association between pain and severity of radiographic lesions has been reported. Recently, central sensitization has been suggested as an underlying mechanism of pain in OA. We investigated the involvement of radiologic severity or central sensitization in the clinical manifestation of hip OA with various degrees of joint deformity.
