NCT ID NCT07436897
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explored the connection between knee pain and the ability to sense the position of the lower back in 56 adults with knee osteoarthritis. Participants had their knee pain measured and performed a test to see how accurately they could feel their back's position. The goal was to understand if pain affects body awareness, which could help guide future treatments.
