Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Conditioned pain modulation as a measure of central sensitization is a primary outcome of this study. Measurements will be performed before and after interventions.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Numerical analog scale of knee pain (intensity of knee pain) Heart rate variability (autonomic nervous activities) Heart rate recovery when aerobic exercise (autonomic nervous activities) Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC, disability) PainDETECT (neuropathic pain) Pain Catastrophizing Scale (pain catastrophizing) International Physical Activity Questionnaire (physical activity) Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (anxiety and depression) Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (sleep quality) Checklist for Individual Strength (fatigue) Basic characteristics (age, sex, diagnosis and level of OA, history of medicine, marital status, educational status, height, weight, body mass index, X-ray, medication, blood and urine sampling) Measurements will be performed before and after interventions.
