Article Synopsis
- Chronic pain is a major issue in joint diseases, often accompanied by depression and anxiety, but these emotional symptoms are not well-researched together in experimental models.
- Using male mice, the study investigated joint pain through various tests to understand the relationship between pain and affective symptoms while identifying different physical and emotional outcomes in two types of joint disease models.
- Results showed that while both joint inflammation and osteoarthritis caused lasting pain, only osteoarthritis led to increased negative emotions and cognitive impairments, indicating that early functional deficits might help predict long-term emotional issues in patients.
