First seen Jun 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how worrying and repetitive negative thinking (rumination) relate to pain and daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis. About 100 adults with confirmed knee arthritis will fill out questionnaires about their pain, worry, and thinking patterns. The goal is to see if these mental factors affect pain beyond what X-rays show, which could lead to better treatment plans that include psychological support.
