Summary

As modern society enters the age of an aging population, the prevalence of knee OA continues to increase, which necessitates multi-faceted research. Although there are studies on exaggeration of bodily sensations, depression, kinesiophobia and functional status in patients with knee OA, there are deficiencies in correlating these factors with each other and in directing evaluation and treatment programs. Based on this, this study aims to demonstrate the relationship between the level of exaggeration of bodily sensations, psychological-functional status and perceived pain level in patients with knee pain due to knee OA.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study looks at how somatosensory amplification — the tendency to experience physical sensations (like pain or discomfort) more intensely — relates to psychological distress and physical functioning in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA), the "wear and tear" form of joint disease. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis - You have had knee pain or discomfort for at least 6 months **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have another rheumatological disease in addition to osteoarthritis - Your knee pain started because of a recent car accident or other leg/lower body trauma Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
