Web based study of risk factors for pain exacerbation in knee osteoarthritis [ 2012 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof David Hunter (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Lyn March (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Philip Sambrook

Brief description While much is known about the risk factors for radiographic knee OA, the risk factors for symptoms emanating from joints affected by OA remain unclear. Identifying modifiable methods for alleviating pain and or avoiding risk factors for exacerbations of pain could have tremendous public health importance. In the proposed study we will use the Internet to facilitate data collection to test a set of risk factors for knee pain fluctuation among subjects with symptomatic radiographic knee OA.
