Methods: This cross-sectional study included 40 primary KOA patients recruited between September 2022 and June 2023. Age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) were recorded.
Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that LSR patients had significantly higher serum BDNF levels compared to healthy individuals, particularly those experiencing neuropathic pain.
- * While increased serum BDNF correlated with acute pain severity, it did not correlate with chronic pain severity or overall functional disability in the patients.
Background: To assess the diagnostic performance of clinical examination and ultrasound (US) assessment of knee effusion in primary knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients. Furthermore, the success rate for effusion aspiration and the factors related to it were investigated.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included patients diagnosed with primary KOA-induced knee effusion clinically or sonographically.
Objective: To assess the frequency of fibromyalgia (FM) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and its impact on disease activity indices, fatigue and health-related quality of life (QOL).
Methods: This cross-sectional study randomly recruited patients with PsA attending an outpatient clinic between June 2017 and December 2018. Disease activity, functional ability, fatigue, and QOL were assessed for all patients.
