Improving pain and movement outcomes in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis [ 2018 - 2021 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Natasha Stanton (Principal investigator)

Brief description People fear getting painful knee osteoarthritis (OA) more than any other disease – it is seen as progressive and incurable. It often stops people from moving and staying healthy, resulting in an enormous burden on sufferers and the health care system. This program of research aims to understand what brain & nervous system processes might underlie these pain and movement problems and whether new brain-targeting treatment helps. This will allow us to better match treatment to what patients need.
