Pain-related cognitions and emotional distress are not associated with conditioned pain modulation: an explorative analysis of 1142 participants with acute, subacute, and chronic pain Open
Reduced conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and psychological distress co-occur frequently in many pain conditions. This study explored whether common negative pain cognitions and emotional factors were related to lower CPM in individuals ac…

Protocol for a randomised feasibility trial comparing a combined program of education and exercise versus general advice for ankle osteoarthritis Open
Background Ankle osteoarthritis (OA) is a serious problem with high associated pain and disability. While education and exercise are recommended for the initial management of OA, this has not been investigated in ankle OA. The primary aim …

Local hyperalgesia, normal endogenous modulation with pain report beyond its origin: a pilot study prompting further exploration into plantar fasciopathy Open
Background and aims Persistent tendinopathies were previously considered solely as peripheral conditions affecting the local tendinous tissue until quantitative sensory testing identified involvement of altered pain processing. In similar …

Do insertional and mid‐portion Achilles tendinopathy display different material properties? Open
We thank Zhang et al for their letter to the editor which raises the question as to whether insertional and non‐insertional (or mid‐portion) Achilles tendinopathy have different “stiffness patterns.” This proposal is based on findings of g…

Response to considerations on “Achilles tendinopathy and patellar tendinopathy display opposite changes in elastic properties” Open
We thank Wu (2017) and the editors for the opportunity to provide greater discussion on the association of tendon shear wave velocity (SWV) with potentially important covariates including sex and age. We would like to first clarify that we…
