Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of two types of conversations—an illness perception conversation (IPC) and a research participation conversation (RPC)—on changes in knee pain over two weeks in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
- It was a randomized trial where patients had either IPC or RPC conversations, followed by a saline injection in their most painful knee; the primary outcome measured was the change in knee pain using a visual analogue scale.
- Results showed both groups experienced a similar decrease in pain, indicating that the IPC did not provide any additional pain relief compared to the RPC, with no significant differences in quality of life or daily living activities.
Achieving high follow-up rates after smoking cessation interventions (SCIs) is a general challenge. The aim of this study was to identify preferences among patients and therapists for improving follow-up rates and to assess smoking status at 6 months among patients lost to follow-up. From the Danish STOPbase for Tobacco and Nicotine, which collects data on SCI across health care, 20 representative patients lost to follow-up by routine procedures were identified together with 11 therapists.
