Neuropathic Pain Associated With First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Osteoarthritis: Frequency and Associated Factors.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine whether neuropathic pain is a feature of first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods

A total of 98 participants (mean ± SD age 57.4 ± 10.3 years) with symptomatic radiographic first MTP joint OA completed the PainDETECT questionnaire (PD-Q), which has 9 questions regarding the intensity and quality of pain. The likelihood of neuropathic pain was determined using established PD-Q cutoff points. Participants with unlikely neuropathic pain were then compared to those with possible/likely neuropathic pain in relation to age, sex, general health (Short Form 12 [SF-12] health survey), psychological well-being (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale), pain characteristics (self-efficacy, duration, and severity), foot health (Foot Health S
