Evaluation of treatment parameters for focused-extracorporeal shock wave therapy in knee osteoarthritis patients with bone marrow lesions: a pilot study Open
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of different dosage parameters of focused-extracorporeal shock wave therapy on pain and physical function in knee osteoarthritis patients with bone marrow lesions. In addition, to investigate pathophysiol…
Simulation-based clinical assessment identifies threshold competence to practise physiotherapy in Australia: a crossover trial Open
Background Although evidence exists for the efficacy of high-fidelity simulation as an educational tool, there is limited evidence for its application in high-stakes professional threshold competency assessment. An alternative model of sim…
View article: P128 Double-blind randomized pilot study to evaluate diamagnetically enhanced transdermal ibuprofen in comparison to placebo on pain and function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis
P128 Double-blind randomized pilot study to evaluate diamagnetically enhanced transdermal ibuprofen in comparison to placebo on pain and function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis Open
Background/Aims Treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) focuses on reducing pain and improving function. Transdermal NSAID formulations have been developed as an alternative approach to reduce pain and sensitisation around the OA affected jo…
The influence of aerobic exercise on conditioned pain modulation and manipulation induced analgesia in people with lateral epicondylalgia: a randomised controlled trial Open
Background: Exercise has been shown to reduce pain sensitivity. It is unclear whether exercise can also potentiate the endogenous analgesia and reduction in pain sensitivity produced by conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and manipulation in…
The Influence of a Positive Empathetic Interaction on Conditioned Pain Modulation and Manipulation-induced Analgesia in People With Lateral Epicondylalgia Open
Objective: Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and manipulation-induced analgesia (MIA) are 2 forms of endogenous analgesia. Many forms of analgesia can be influenced by the nature of the patient-clinician interaction. The aim of this study …
Monitoring the Clinical Response to an Innovative Transdermal Delivery System for Ibuprofen Open
We present a phase 1 study that utilizes a crossover design that provides a rapid and relatively inexpensive methodology for evaluating a new transdermal product. The treatment for osteoarthritis (OA) aims to reduce pain and improve functi…
The Association Between Conditioned Pain Modulation and Manipulation-induced Analgesia in People With Lateral Epicondylalgia Open
Objectives: Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and manipulation-induced analgesia (MIA) may activate similar neurophysiological mechanisms to mediate their analgesic effects. This study assessed the association between CPM and MIA responses…
Exercise-induced hypoalgesia in women with varying levels of menstrual pain Open
Background and aims: Exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH) is a well-established phenomenon in pain-free individuals that describes a decrease in pain sensitivity after an acute bout of exercise. The EIH response has been demonstrated to be s…
Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis Who Score Highly on the PainDETECT Questionnaire Present With Multimodality Hyperalgesia, Increased Pain, and Impaired Physical Function Open
Objectives: PainDETECT is a self-report questionnaire that can be used to identify features of neuropathic pain. A proportion of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) score highly on the PainDETECT questionnaire. This study aimed to deter…
Cold Pain Threshold Identifies a Subgroup of Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis That Present With Multimodality Hyperalgesia and Elevated Pain Levels Open
Objectives: Cold hyperalgesia has been established as an important marker of pain severity in a number of conditions. This study aimed to establish the extent to which patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) demonstrate widespread cold, hea…
Quantitative and Qualitative Responses to Topical Cold in Healthy Caucasians Show Variance between Individuals but High Test-Retest Reliability Open
Increased sensitivity to cold may be a predictor of persistent pain, but cold pain threshold is often viewed as unreliable. This study aimed to determine the within-subject reliability and between-subject variance of cold response, measure…
Subjects with Knee Osteoarthritis Exhibit Widespread Hyperalgesia to Pressure and Cold Open
Hyperalgesia to mechanical and thermal stimuli are characteristics of a range of disorders such as tennis elbow, whiplash and fibromyalgia. This study evaluated the presence of local and widespread mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia in in…
Test-Retest Reliability of topical cold response measures Open
45 healthy subjects were assessed for their response to topical cold on 3 separate occasions. Four test sites were used in randomised order: thenar eminence, volar forearm, tibialis anterior and plantar heel. Cold detection threshold and c…

OA-Controls Dataset.xlsx Open
Quantitative sensory testing data, comparing subjects with knee osteoarthritis with age and gender matched healthy controls. All sensory tests taken at the medial knee, ankle and elbow. One practice followed by 3 repetitions at each site. …
