The Effect of Medical Exercise Therapy on Pressure Sensitivity in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Cohort Pilot Study

ConclusionAs there were no significant correlations between the reduced pain perception and pressure sensitivity in knee osteoarthritis patients, we suggest that local knee pain does not necessarily alter generalized sensitivity. These findings should be further investigated in a randomized trial in the future.Trial RegistrationClinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT02905747.
