Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the prevalence of neuropathic pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis who are candidates for total knee replacement and its impact on their quality of life.
- Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study involving 126 patients, using various questionnaires to evaluate pain levels, quality of life, and the presence of neuropathic pain.
- Results showed that 28.6% of patients had neuropathic pain, which correlated with higher pain levels and significantly lower quality of life scores compared to those without neuropathic pain.
