J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:1201-1206. [PMID: 38128626 PMCID: PMC11032226 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.12.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND While preoperative psychological distress is known to predict risk for worse total knee arthroplasty (TKA) outcomes, distress may be too broad and nonspecific a predictor in isolation. We tested whether there are distinct preoperative TKA patient types based jointly on psychological status and measures of altered pain processing that predict adverse clinical outcomes. METHODS In 112 TKA patients, we preoperatively assessed psychological status (depression, anxiety, and catastrophizing) and altered pain processing via a simple quantitative sensory testing protocol capturing peripheral and central pain sensitization. Outcomes (pain, function, opioid use) were prospectively evaluated at 6 weeks and 6 months after TKA. Cluster analyses were used to empirically identify TKA patient subgroups. RESULTS There were 3 distinct preoperative TKA patient subgroups identified from the cluster analysis. A low-risk (LR) group was characterized by low psychological distress and low peripheral and central sensitization. In addition, 2 subgroups with similarly elevated preoperative psychological distress were identified, differing by pain processing alterations observed: high-risk centralized pain and high-risk peripheral pain. Relative to LR patients, high-risk centralized pain patients displayed significantly worse function and greater opioid use at 6 months after TKA (P values <.05). The LR and high-risk peripheral pain patient subgroups had similar 6-month outcomes (P values >.05). CONCLUSIONS Among patients who have psychological comorbidity, only patients who have central sensitization were at elevated risk for poor functional outcomes and increased opioid use. Central sensitization may be the missing link between psychological comorbidity and poor TKA clinical outcomes. Preoperative testing for central sensitization may have clinical utility for improving risk stratification in TKA patients who have psychosocial risk factors.

Hand osteoarthritis phenotypes based on a biopsychosocial approach, and their associations with cross-sectional and longitudinal pain. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2024:S1063-4584(24)01168-3. [PMID: 38697510 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2024.04.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hand osteoarthritis (OA) pain is characterized as heterogeneous and multifactorial. Differences in pain may be explained by underlying phenotypes, which have not been previously explored DESIGN: Latent class analysis determined classes of participants with hand OA from the Nor-Hand study baseline examination (2016-17) based on a biopsychosocial framework. Outcomes were hand and overall bodily pain intensity (Numeric Rating Scale, 0-10) at baseline and follow-up (2019-21), The relations of the classes to pain outcomes at baseline, follow-up, and change over time were analysed in separate models by linear regression, using the overall healthiest class as reference. RESULTS Five classes differing in radiographic hand OA burden and OA burden in the lower extremities by ultrasound, demographic factors, psychosocial burden and pain sensitization was identified. Persons with the least severe OA but higher burden of biopsychosocial factors reported the most hand pain (beta 3.65, 95% CI 2.53, 4.75). Pain was less pronounced in persons with the most severe hand OA but low burden of biopsychosocial factors (beta 1.03, 95% CI 0.41, 1.65). Results were similar for overall bodily pain and at follow-up. Changes in pain were small, but the association between a separate class defined by higher levels of biopsychosocial burden and pain changes was significant. CONCLUSION The five hand OA phenotypes were associated with pain at baseline and 3.5 years later. The phenotype with the least OA severity, but higher burden of biopsychosocial factors reported more pain than the phenotype with the most severe OA, reflecting the symptom-structure discordance of the hand OA pain experience.

Abstract
Objectives Pain as central symptom of osteoarthritis (OA) needs to be addressed as part of successful treatment. The assessment of pain as feature of disease or outcome in clinical practice and drug development remains a challenge due to its multidimensionality and the plethora of confounders. This article aims at providing insights into our understanding of OA pain-phenotypes and suggests a framework for systematic and comprehensive assessments. Methods This narrative review is based on a search of current literature for various combinations of the search terms "pain-phenotype" and "knee OA" and summarizes current knowledge on OA pain-phenotypes, putting OA pain and its assessment into perspective of current research efforts. Results Pain is a complex phenomenon, not necessarily associated with tissue damage. Various pain-phenotypes have been described in knee OA. Among those, a phenotype with high pain levels not necessarily matching structural changes and a phenotype with low pain levels and impact are relatively consistent. Further subgroups can be differentiated based on patient reported outcome measures, assessments of comorbidities, anxiety and depression, sleep, activity and objective measures such as quantitative sensory testing. Conclusions The complexity of both OA as disease and pain in OA prompt the definition of a set of variables that facilitate assessments comparable across studies to maximize our understanding of pain, as central concern for the patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine i) pain phenotypes (PP) in people with early-stage knee osteoarthritis (EKOA); ii) the longitudinal association between the phenotypes and pain worsening at two years. DESIGN We studied participants with EKOA from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study defined as pain intensity ≤3/10, Kellgren and Lawrence grade ≤2, intermittent pain none to sometimes, and no constant pain. Two models of PP were explored. Model A included pressure pain thresholds, temporal summation, conditioned pain modulation, pain catastrophizing, sleep quality, depression, and widespread pain (WSP). In Model B, gait characteristics, quadriceps strength, comorbidities, and magnetic resonance imaging features were added to Model A. Latent Class Analysis was used to create phenotypes, and logistic regression was used to determine their association with pain worsening. RESULTS 750 individuals (60% females), mean age [standard deviation (SD)]: 60.3 (9.4) were included in Model A and 333 individuals (60% females), mean age (SD): 59.4 (8.1) in Model B. 3-class and 4-class solutions were chosen for Model A and Model B. In Model A, the most "severe" phenotype was dominated by psychosocial factors, WSP, and measures of nervous system sensitization. Similarly in Model B, the Model A phenotype plus gait variables, quadriceps strength, and comorbidities were dominant. Surprisingly, none of the phenotypes in either model had a significant relationship with pain worsening. CONCLUSION Phenotypes based upon various factors thought to be important for the pain experience were identified in those with EKOA but were not significantly related to pain worsening. These phenotypes require validation with clinically relevant endpoints.

Explorative analysis from a multicentre trial. Eur J Pain 2024; 28:335-351. [PMID: 37746845 DOI: 10.1002/ejp.2185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Facilitatory and inhibitory conditioned pain modulation (CPM) responses are observed in healthy volunteers and chronic pain patients, but the clinical implications for phenotyping are unknown. This study aimed to subgroup and compare chronic knee pain patients according to their CPM responses. METHODS This explorative, cross-sectional study included 127 patients with chronic knee pain (osteoarthritis or following total knee arthroplasty). Individual CPM responses were categorized as facilitatory (test stimuli pain intensity increased when conditioning stimuli were applied), as inhibitory (test stimuli pain intensity decreased) or as no change (defined as less than 5.3% change in pain intensity). Outcomes were clinical pain intensities, temporal summation, widespread pain, self-reported physical function, PainDETECT questionnaire and Pain Quality Assessment Scale. Data were analysed as comparisons between the inhibitory and the facilitatory groups and using multivariate linear regression models. RESULTS Fifty-four patients had facilitatory CPM responses, 49 had inhibitory CPM responses, and 24 showed no change in CPM response. A between-group difference was observed for self-reported physical function, with the facilitatory CPM group reporting better function (54.4 vs. 46.0, p = 0.028) and the facilitatory CPM group reported more deep pain sensations (3.2 vs. 2.0, p = 0.021). The remaining outcomes showed no between-group differences. Higher clinical pain intensity and facilitated temporal summation were associated in the facilitated CPM group but not in the inhibitory CPM group. CONCLUSION These explorative findings indicated that quantitative clinical and experimental differences exist between facilitatory or inhibitory CPM responses in a chronic knee pain patient population. Differences in patients' CPM responses should be further investigated to unravel possible clinical importance. SIGNIFICANCE Our findings confirm that conditioned pain modulation consist of inhibitory and facilitatory responders among a patient population with chronic knee pain. This explorative study indicates that patients with either facilitatory or inhibitory conditioned pain modulation could exhibit differences in pain outcomes. Subgrouping of chronic pain patients depending on individual conditioned pain modulation responses could be considered in phenotyping patients prior to inclusion in clinical trials or used for personalizing the management regime.

Abstract
The study aimed to characterize the natural history of the pain experience, concurrently considering intermittent and constant pain over 4 years, and determine baseline factors associated with unfavorable trajectories in individuals with chronic knee pain. The Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) is a prospective, observational study of people with or at higher risk for knee osteoarthritis. The Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain (ICOAP) was assessed annually at 48-to-96-month OAI visits. Twenty-eight baseline sociodemographic, knee-specific, and health-related characteristics were assessed. Group-based dual-trajectory modeling identified pain experience patterns indicated by ICOAP intermittent and constant pain scores over 4 years. Multivariable multinomial logistic regression models determined baseline factors associated with membership in each dual-trajectory group. Four longitudinal pain experience patterns were identified (n = 3,584, mean age = 64.8 [standard deviation 9.0] years, BMI = 28.6 [5.0] kg/m2; 57.9% women). Group 1 (37.7%) had minimal intermittent and no constant pain; Group 2 (35.1%) had mild intermittent and no constant pain; Group 3 (18.5%) had mild intermittent and low-grade constant pain; and Group 4 (8.7%) had moderate intermittent and constant pain. Baseline widespread pain, knee stiffness, back pain, hip pain, ankle pain, obesity, depressive symptoms, more advanced radiographic disease, and analgesic use were each associated with an increased risk of membership in less favorable Groups 2, 3, and 4. These distinct courses of pain experience may be driven by different underlying pain mechanisms. The benchmarked ICOAP scores could be used to stratify patients and tailor management. Addressing and preventing the development of modifiable risks (eg, widespread pain and knee joint stiffness) may reduce the chance of belonging to unfavorable dual-trajectory groups. PERSPECTIVE: Concurrently tracking intermittent versus constant pain experience, group-based dual-trajectory modeling identified 4 distinct pain experience patterns over 4 years. The benchmarked ICOAP scores in these dual trajectories could aid in stratifying patients for tailored management strategies and intensity of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a highly heterogeneous disease encompassing a wide range of clinical phenotypes. Phenotypes based on immune cells and protein pattern in synovial fluid (SF) and their relationship to clinical trajectories have not been described. OBJECTIVE To assess phenotypes based on immune cells and protein pattern of SF in KOA. DESIGN SF-derived immune cells were investigated in 119 patients with KOA using flow cytometry. Immune-phenotypes (iPhen) were determined by multivariate patient similarity network analysis and related to clinical trajectory (3-6 months post-sampling) along with protein pattern and macrophage chemokine receptors. RESULTS Four iPhen were detected based on the distribution of T-lymphocytes, monocyte-macrophage lineage cells and activated CD8+ T-lymphocytes. The 'activated' phenotype (n = 17) had high T-lymphocytes but low monocyte-macrophage lineage cells and neutrophils, all highly activated, and showed improved symptoms in 70% patients. The 'lymphoid progressive' phenotype (n = 31) had high neutrophils, low lymphocytes and monocyte-macrophage lineage cells, low activation and was associated with lower pain levels. The 'myeloid progressive' phenotype (n = 35) had high NK and monocyte-macrophage lineage cells but low T-lymphocytes and activation. The 'aggressive' phenotype (n = 36) had high lymphocytes, macrophages, NK cells and neutrophils and high activation, and only 39% of patients improved during follow-up. Low CXCR4 and CCR7 expression on macrophages and high CXCL10 in SF were linked to improved clinical trajectory. CONCLUSION We identified four immune-phenotypes that were associated with different clinical trajectories in KOA patients. How these phenotypes can be targeted therapeutically deserves further investigation.

Abstract
Purpose Knee OA-related pain varies in impact across individuals and may relate to central nervous system alterations like accelerated brain aging processes. We previously reported that older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain had a significantly greater brain-predicted age, compared to pain-free controls, indicating an "older" appearing brain. Yet this association is not well understood. This cross-sectional study examines brain-predicted age differences associated with chronic knee osteoarthritis pain, in a larger, more demographically diverse sample with consideration for pain's impact. Patients and Methods Participants (mean age = 57.8 ± 8.0 years) with/without knee OA-related pain were classified according to pain's impact on daily function (ie, impact): low-impact (n=111), and high-impact (n=60) pain, and pain-free controls (n=31). Participants completed demographic, pain, and psychosocial assessments, and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Brain-predicted age difference (brain-PAD) was compared across groups using analysis of covariance. Partial correlations examined associations of brain-PAD with pain and psychosocial variables. Results Individuals with high-impact chronic knee pain had significantly "older" brains for their age compared to individuals with low-impact knee pain (p < 0.05). Brain-PAD was also significantly associated with clinical pain, negative affect, passive coping, and pain catastrophizing (p's<0.05). Conclusion Our findings suggest that high impact chronic knee pain is associated with an older appearing brain on MRI. Future studies are needed to determine the impact of pain-related interference and pain management on somatosensory processing and brain aging biomarkers for high-risk populations and effective intervention strategies.

Abstract
Objective To apply biclustering, a methodology originally developed for analysis of gene expression data, to simultaneously cluster observations and clinical features to explore candidate phenotypes of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) for the first time. Methods Data from the baseline Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) visit were cleaned, transformed, and standardized as indicated (leaving 6461 knees with 86 features). Biclustering produced submatrices of the overall data matrix, representing similar observations across a subset of variables. Statistical validation was determined using the novel SigClust procedure. After identifying biclusters, relationships with key outcome measures were assessed, including progression of radiographic KOA, total knee arthroplasty, loss of joint space width, and worsening Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores, over 96 months of follow-up. Results The final analytic set included 6461 knees from 3330 individuals (mean age 61 years, mean body mass index 28 kg/m2, 57% women and 86% White). We identified 6 mutually exclusive biclusters characterized by different feature profiles at baseline, particularly related to symptoms and function. Biclusters represented overall better (#1), similar (#2, 3, 6), and poorer (#4, 5) prognosis compared to the overall cohort of knees, respectively. In general, knees in biclusters #4 and 5 had more structural progression (based on Kellgren-Lawrence grade, total knee arthroplasty, and loss of joint space width) but tended to have an improvement in WOMAC pain scores over time. In contrast, knees in bicluster #1 had less incident and progressive KOA, fewer total knee arthroplasties, less loss of joint space width, and stable pain scores compared with the overall cohort. Significance We identified six biclusters within the baseline OAI dataset which have varying relationships with key outcomes in KOA. Such biclusters represent potential phenotypes within the larger cohort and may suggest subgroups at greater or lesser risk of progression over time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease of multiple phenotypes of which a chronic pain phenotype (PP) is known. Previous PP studies have focused on one domain of pain and included heterogenous variables. We sought to identify multidimensional PPs using the IMMPACT recommendations and their relationship to clinical outcomes. METHODS Participants >40 years of age with knee OA having a first-time orthopaedic consultation at five university affiliated hospitals in Montreal, Quebec and Hamilton (Canada) were recruited. Latent profile analysis was used to determine PPs (classes) using variables recommended by IMMPACT. This included pain variability, intensity and qualities, somatization, anxiodepressive symptoms, sleep, fatigue, pain catastrophizing, neuropathic pain, and quantitative sensory tests. We used MANOVA and Chi-square tests to assess differences in participant characteristics across the classes and linear and Poisson regression to evaluate the association of classes to outcomes of physical performance tests, self-reported function and provincial healthcare data. RESULTS 343 participants were included (mean age 64 years, 64% female). Three classes were identified with increasing pain burden (class3 > class1), characterized by significant differences across most self-report measures and temporal summation, and differed in terms of female sex, younger age, lower optimism and pain self-efficacy. Participants in class2 and class3 had significantly worse self-reported function, stair climb and 40m walk tests, and higher rates of healthcare usage compared to those in class1. CONCLUSIONS Three distinct PPs guided by IMMPACT recommendations were identified, predominated by self-report measures and temporal summation. Using this standardized approach may improve PP study variability and comparison.
