Does pain intensity after total knee arthroplasty depend on somatosensory functioning in knee osteoarthritis patients? A prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to determine whether the change in pain intensity over time differs between somatosensory functioning evolution profiles in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This longitudinal prospective cohort study, conducted between March 2018 and July 2023, included KOA patients undergoing TKA in four hospitals in Belgium and the Netherlands. The evolution of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscale pain over time (baseline, 3 months, and 1 year post-TKA scores) was the outcome variable. The evolution scores of quantitative sensory testing (QST) and Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) over time (baseline and 1 year post-TKA scores) were used to make subgroups. Participants were divided into separate nor
