Worldwide, knee osteoarthritis (KOA) accounts for 2.2% of total years lived with disability. There is a low correlation between joint tissue damage and pain intensity.
Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Leticia Naomi Nakada"
- Leticia Naomi Nakada’s recent research primarily focuses on the evaluation of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) through ultrasonography, highlighting the disease's impact on disability globally.
- In her study published in "Sci Rep," she investigated ultrasonography findings in a cohort of 100 patients, providing significant insights into the imaging aspects of KOA.
- The findings indicate a low correlation between the extent of joint tissue damage observed via ultrasonography and the intensity of pain reported by patients, suggesting that pain perception may not always align with visible joint damage.
