Abstract
Pain is the most frequent symptom of osteoarthritis (OA), occurring much more commonly than stiffness or disability. Classically, OA-related pain has been considered to be a nociceptive pain condition and an alarm signal correlated to the intensity of joint degradation. However, OA-related pain is a specific disease, with a complex pathophysiology, including neuropathic peripheral and central abnormalities, together with local inflammation involving all joint structures. Clinical findings emphasize that it is not a stable and linear condition, that pain experience is poorly correlated to structural modifications, and that the quality of pain in OA is important to consider, aside from its intensity. OA-related pain is modulated by many factors, including the individual patient's psychological and genetic factors, as well as the theoretical role of meteorological influences. Recent findings have improved our knowledge about the central mechanisms of OA pain, especially in persistent cases. A specific questionnaire on OA pain is currently being developed to assess more precisely the patient's experience and target specific pain mechanisms. In conclusion, OA-related pain should be analyzed specifically aside from OA, taking into account the complexity of OA pain as a disease, distinguishing different OA pain phenotypes, to guide more precisely analgesic treatment and OA global management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent evidence suggests that vitamin D may interact with the epigenome and play a role in the pain experience. In order for proper functioning to occur, there must be an adequate level of vitamin D present, made possible by enzymatic reactions that allow vitamin D to be biologically active. The purpose of this study was to explore the epigenetic landscape of genes involved in vitamin D metabolism in individuals with and without chronic knee pain. METHODS Community-dwelling individuals recruited as part of a larger study focused on knee pain provided demographic, clinical, and pain-related information, as well as an intravenous blood sample to determine DNA methylation levels at CpG sites. RESULTS There were differences in DNA methylation between those with and without pain in genes that code for enzymes related to vitamin D metabolism: CYP27B1 (1-α-hydroxylase). There was also hypermethylation on the gene that codes for the vitamin D receptor (VDR). CONCLUSIONS The presence of chronic pain is associated with epigenetic modifications in genes responsible for the expression of enzymes involved in vitamin D metabolism and cellular function. These results lay groundwork in understanding the mechanism underlying the association between vitamin D and chronic pain.

Abstract
Background and purpose We and others have reported ethnic/race group differences in clinical pain, physical function, and experimental pain sensitivity. However, recent research indicates that with consideration for socioenvironmental factors, ethnicity/race differences become less or non-significant. Understanding of factors contributing to pain inequities are needed. Guided by the NIA and NIMHD Health Disparities Research Frameworks, we evaluate the contributions of environmental and behavioral factors on previously reported ethnic/race group differences in: (1) clinical pain, (2) physical function, and (3) experimental pain in individuals with knee pain. Methods Baseline data from Understanding of Pain and Limitations in Osteoarthritis Disease (UPLOAD) and UPLOAD-2 studies were analyzed. Participants were adults 45 to 85 years old who self-reported as non-Hispanic white (NHW) or black (NHB) with knee pain. A health assessment and quantitative sensory testing were completed. Sociodemographics, environmental, health, clinical and experimental pain, and physical functioning measures were included in nested regressions. Results Pooled data from 468 individuals, 57 ± 8 years of age, 63% women, and 53% NHB adults. As NHB adults were younger and reported greater socioenvironmental risk than the NHW adults, the term sociodemographic groups is used. With inclusion of recognized environmental and behavioral variables, sociodemographic groups remained a significant predictor accounting for <5% of the variance in clinical pain and physical function and <10% of variance in experimental pain. Conclusion The incorporation of environmental and behavioral factors reduced relationships between sociodemographic groups and pain-related outcomes. Pain sites, BMI, and income were significant predictors across multiple models. The current study adds to a body of research on the complex array of factors contributing to disparities in pain-related outcomes.

Abstract
This trial aimed to determine the possible therapeutic and immunomodulatory effects of vitamin D3 in patients with knee OA. In this open-label clinical trial, symptoms were assessed over 3 months in patients with primary knee OA receiving oral vitamin D3 4000 IU/day. Clinical response was evaluated at baseline and 3 months using WOMAC subscores and VAS. Serum levels of cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-13, IL-17, IL-33, IL-4, and IL-10 were determined by ELISA method. Eighty patients with knee OA were included. All 80 completed the study; the median 25(OH)D3 level was 23.1 ng/ml at baseline and increased by 12.3 ng/ml after treatment. Vitamin D3 after 3 months of supplementation induced a significant reduction in VAS pain and WOMAC subscores. Using OMERACT-OARSI criteria, 86.7% of patients treated with vitamin D3 responded to treatment. At the end of 3 months, systemic values of IL-1β (p < 0.01), IL-23 (p < 0.01), and IL-33 (p < 0.01) were significantly increased, values of TNF-α (p < 0.01), IL-13 (p < 0.01), and IL-17 (p < 0.01) were significantly decreased, while value of IL-4 was not significantly changed. No adverse events were detected. Treatment with vitamin D is associated with improvement in pain, as well as stiffness and physical function. Vitamin D supplementation increased systemic values of IL-33. Our results indicate that vitamin D3 supplementation may be used as a novel therapeutic in knee OA. Future studies are needed to investigate a potential role of IL-33 in the pathogenesis of knee OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperalgesia is attributed to peripheral and central sensitization in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Pressure pain threshold (PPT) is a relevant method for evaluating pain sensitivity in knee OA. The effect of end-range and not end-range Maitland mobilization for certain time-period on pain sensitivity has not been investigated in knee OA. AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of end-range and not end-range Maitland mobilization compared to sham manual therapy technique on PPT and functional measures. DESIGN Randomised, controlled clinical trial. SETTING Outpatient setting. POPULATION Sixty-six patients with mild-to-severe knee OA. METHODS Twenty-one patients (N.=21) received end-range Maitland mobilization (EMGr), twenty patients (N.=20) received not end-range Maitland mobilization (nEMGr) and twenty-two patients (N.=22) received sham manual therapy technique (CG). All interventions were performed once. Evaluation was conducted pre-, postintervention and on the following consecutive second days within a 6-day period. Outcomes were local and distant PPT, Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) and strength of passive resistance of knee at onset of pain. RESULTS Local and distant PPT increased, TUG time and strength of passive resistance decreased immediately, local and distant PPT remained decreased in 6-day and 4-day period, TUG time remained decreased in 6-day period in EMGr (all changes P≤0.017). Local PPT increased immediately compared to baseline in nEMGr. In between group comparison, increase of local, distant PPT and strength of passive resistance endures on 2nd day, 4th day and postintervention, respectively, in EMGr compared to CG. EMGr compared to nEMGr presented significant difference on 6th day and 4th day in local and distant PPT, respectively (all changes P≤0.021). NEMGr presented no significant difference compared to CG on either follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Single end-range Maitland mobilization is effective immediately and in 4-day period on pain sensitization and immediately on physical function compared to not end-range Maitland mobilization and sham manual therapy technique in knee OA. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT Based on the present results, applying end-range Maitland mobilization is suggested on every second day to maintain alleviation of pain sensitization and increasing passive knee joint mobility effectively in knee OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure pain threshold (PPT) is a widely applied method for measuring the magnitude of increased peripheral and central pain sensitivity causing hyperalgesia in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Although manual therapy techniques effects positively PPT, the effect of end-range Maitland mobilization has not been evaluated in knee OA. AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of end-range Maitland mobilization compared to sham manual therapy technique on PPT and function-related measures. DESIGN The design of the study was of a randomized, controlled clinical trial. SETTING Outpatient setting. POPULATION Forty women with moderate-to-severe knee OA. METHODS Twenty patients (N.=20) were randomly assigned to Maitland group (MG) and twenty patients (N.=20) to control group (CG). Patients in MG received single end-range Maitland mobilization while patients in CG received sham manual therapy technique. Assessment was performed at baseline, 30 minutes and after 1-week period. Outcome measures were PPT locally at knee and distant at ipsilateral extensor carpi radialis longus muscle, general pain during the previous week using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) time associated with pain measured with Numerating Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and strength of passive resistance of knee at onset of pain. RESULTS Despite all outcome measures improved significantly postintervention, no changes were detected after 1-week period compared to postintervention in MG. No change of outcome measures was found also postintervention and after 1-week period compared to postintervention in CG. All postintervention results showed significant improvement in between-group comparison in favor of MG. However, after 1-week period, only strength of passive resistance revealed significant difference in between-group comparison in favor of MG (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Although end-range Maitland mobilization has an immediate effect on decreasing peripheral and central pain sensitivity and improving function-related measures in knee OA, these changes may not cause clinically relevant effect based on data measured after 1-week period. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT Investigating the time-course of end-range Maitland mobilization for determining the optimal treatment frequency during rehabilitation is suggested in knee OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the central sensitization (CS) and the related parameters in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). METHODS Quantitative sensory testing (QST) which consists of pressure pain threshold (PPT), temporal summation (TS), and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) were applied to the participants. Disease activity, functional status, sleep quality, pain, depression, and fatigue were assessed. Patients were divided as the ones with and without CS according to the central sensitization inventory (CSI) and the results were compared. RESULTS One hundred patients and fifty controls were recruited. Sixty axSpA patients had CS. When QST results were compared between the patient and control groups, all PPT scores were found lower (p<0.05) in patients. Regarding the comparison of the patients with and without CS, sacroiliac, and trapezius PPT scores were found lower in the patients with CS (p<0.05). On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the mean TS scores (p>0.05) between patients and controls, and in patients with and without CS. All investigated comorbidities were found to be significantly more frequent (p<0.001) in the patients with CS. In regression analysis female gender, morning stiffness duration, CPM, depression, and fatigue were detected as related parameters with CSI scores. CONCLUSION CS and related comorbidities were found to be increased in axSpA patients. This increase should be taken into consideration in the management of these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study was undertaken to determine whether vitamin D supplementation or maintaining sufficient vitamin D level reduces foot pain over 2 years in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS A post hoc study was conducted from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial named the Vitamin D Effect on Osteoarthritis (VIDEO) study. Symptomatic knee OA patients with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels between 12.5 nmoles/liter and 60 nmoles/liter were included and randomly allocated to either monthly vitamin D3 or placebo treatment (1:1) for 2 years. Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index (MFPDI) was used to evaluate foot pain and disabling foot pain was defined as at least 1 of the 10 functional limitation items (items 1-9 and 11) being documented as on "most/every day(s)" in the last month. A repeated-measures, mixed-effects model was used to analyze the change of MFPDI scores between groups adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS A total of 413 patients with a mean age of 63.2 years (49.7% males) were enrolled and 340 completed the study. The mean MFPDI score was 22.8 ± 7.3, with 23.7% of participants having disabling foot pain at baseline. There were significant differences in MFPDI scores change between groups over 2 years, with more improvements in the vitamin D group than in the placebo group (-0.03 versus 1.30; P = 0.013) and more improvement in those maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels (n = 226) than those who did not (n = 114) (-0.09 versus 2.19; P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Vitamin D supplementation and maintenance of sufficient vitamin D levels may improve foot pain in those with knee OA.

Abstract
Objective Vitamin D deficiency is linked with pain, function, and radiographic progression of knee osteoarthritis (KOA), but the results of studies addressing the association and effect of vitamin D supplementation for pain, function, quality of life, radiographic disease, and progression are inconsistent. The aim of this review is to determine the therapeutic and preventive potential of vitamin D supplementation in KOA. Method Eligible pertinent English language studies published in 2000 and thereafter in Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were selected by using keywords that include “knee osteoarthritis,” “vitamin D supplementation,” “pain,” “structural abnormalities,” “treatment,” and “progression.” Results The results of a few studies showed a preventive potential for vitamin D in KOA, but most of the randomized clinical trials that assessed the therapeutic efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in KOA found no clear therapeutic effect, with the exception of one study that found a small but significant effect of vitamin D on pain and knee function. Nonetheless, the results of a few longitudinal studies as well as systematic reviews are promising and thus encourage further studies. Inconsistent results on the effect of vitamin D on KOA may be attributed to factors such as severity of KOA, baseline level of serum vitamin D, duration of treatment, and vitamin D dosages. Conclusion Given the multiple skeletal and extraskeletal benefits of vitamin D supplementation in elderly people, the issue of vitamin D supplementation in KOA requires further study to elucidate the dosage and duration of treatment that provides the most effective therapeutic effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between serum vitamin D and migraine is investigated in this research.s BACKGROUND: Although the pathogenesis of migraine headache is not fully understood, the possible role of inflammation and disturbed immune system has been proposed; thus, higher levels of vitamin D might reduce the risk of migraine. However, the results of related studies have been inconclusive. METHODS Seventy healthy individuals and 70 age- and sex-matched migraineurs (34 chronic and 36 episodic migraineurs), diagnosed according to the International Headache Society criteria (ICHD-IIIβ), were recruited. After obtaining baseline data and assessing migraine disability, a 30-day headache diary was given to the participants. Blood samples were obtained and 25(OH)D serum concentrations were determined using ELISA techniques. Serum 25(OH)D under 20, 20-29, and 30-100 ng/mL were considered deficient, insufficient, and sufficient, respectively. The applied statistical tests for between-group comparisons include independent-sample t-test, chi-square, and analysis of variance. Multiple regression analysis was also performed to identify the possible risk factors of migraine headache. RESULTS Migraine patients had significantly lower mean (SD) of serum VitD (30 (16) ng/mL) than healthy subjects (43 (19) ng/mL) (P < .001). The number (%) of subjects with VitD deficiency and insufficiency was significantly higher among the migraineurs (36 (53.7%)) than the controls (18 (26.1%)) (P < .0001). A significant negative association between migraine headache and serum VitD was detected in the fully adjusted multiple regression models when comparing the third and the highest serum 25(OH)D quartiles with the lowest (OR = 0.20; 95% CI = 0.05-0.77; OR = 0.17; 95% CI = 0.04-0.64, respectively, P for trend = .009). For each 5 ng/mL increase in serum 25(OH)D, there was a 22% odds decrease in the odds of migraine (OR = 0.78; 95% CI = 0.68-0.90; P = .001). CONCLUSION We have found that a higher level of serum VitD (between 50 to less than 100 ng/mL) among a sample of the Iranian population is associated with 80-83% lower odds of migraine headache than those with serum 25(OH)D levels below 20 ng/mL. However, there is a need for well-designed clinical trials to investigate beneficial effects of increased serum 25(OH)D on lower risk of migraine.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common and disabling forms of arthritis worldwide, with joint pain being a primary symptom. Given that clinical symptoms often show poor concordance with tissue damage in OA, processes other than joint remodeling likely play a role in the condition. Using the biopsychosocial model of pain as a guiding framework, the purpose of this review is to highlight the extra-articular mechanisms that contribute to pain and dysfunction in OA, with a specific focus on resilience. RECENT FINDINGS Whereas previous research has mostly focused on risk factors for worsening of OA pain, recently emerging evidence places greater emphasis on the identification of protective mechanisms that enhance pain adaptation and palliate the negative effects of joint pain. In view of this new and important research, more emphasis should be placed on endogenous pain modulation and, in particular, pain attenuation. The result of such work could serve as a basis for optimizing treatment in the OA population.

Abstract
A relevant aspect in osteoarthritic pain is neural sensitization. This phenomenon involves augmented responsiveness to painful stimulation and may entail a clinically worse prognosis. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study pain sensitization in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Sixty patients were recruited and pain sensitization was clinically defined on the basis of regional spreading of pain (spreading sensitization) and increased pain response to repeated stimulation (temporal summation). Functional magnetic resonance imaging testing involved assessing brain responses to both pressure and heat stimulation. Thirty-three patients (55%) showed regional pain spreading (simple sensitization) and 19 patients (32%) showed both regional spreading and temporal summation. Sensitized patients were more commonly women. Direct painful pressure stimulation of the joint (articular interline) robustly activated all of the neural elements typically involved in pain perception, but did not differentiate sensitized and nonsensitized patients. Painful pressure stimulation on the anterior tibial surface (sensitized site) evoked greater activation in sensitized patients in regions typically involved in pain and also beyond these regions, extending to the auditory, visual, and ventral sensorimotor cortices. Painful heat stimulation of the volar forearm did not discriminate the sensitization phenomenon. Results confirm the high prevalence of pain sensitization secondary to knee osteoarthritis. Relevantly, the sensitization phenomenon was associated with neural changes extending beyond strict pain-processing regions with enhancement of activity in general sensory, nonnociceptive brain areas. This effect is in contrast to the changes previously identified in primary pain sensitization in fibromyalgia patients presenting with a weakening of the general sensory integration.

Abstract
Arthritis and vitamin D insufficiency are prevalent in older adults and are risk factors for disability. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of co-occurring arthritis and vitamin D deficiency on upper-lower extremity functional limitations and disability in older adults. We examined 1533 participants aged ≥50 years from a subsample of the Mexican Health and Aging Study. Measures included sociodemographics, body mass index, comorbid conditions, falls, physical activity, physical function tests, functional limitations, activities of daily living (ADL), and vitamin D. Participants were categorized into four groups according to arthritis and vitamin D status: no vitamin D insufficiency and no arthritis (58.80%), vitamin D insufficiency only (27.49%), arthritis only (8.47%), and arthritis and vitamin D insufficiency (5.24%). Fourteen percent reported arthritis, and 31.2% had vitamin D insufficiency. The arthritis and vitamin D insufficiency group was associated with upper-lower extremity functional limitations [odds ratio (OR) 1.82, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06-3.15, and OR 1.90, 95% CI 1.00-3.62, respectively] and ADL disability (OR 3.00, 95% CI 1.63-5.51) when compared with the no vitamin D insufficiency and no arthritis group (reference group). The arthritis only group was three times more likely to report upper-lower extremity functional limitations and ADL disability. The vitamin D insufficiency only group was not significantly associated with functional limitations nor ADL disability. Arthritis and vitamin D insufficiency increased the risk of ADL disability in this population. However, the effect of arthritis and vitamin D insufficiency on upper-lower extremity functional limitations was not higher than the effect of arthritis only, but higher than the effect on vitamin D insufficiency alone.

Abstract
Despite considerable pain disparities across the care continuum, pain is an understudied health problem in older ethnic minority groups, such as African Americans. Quality pain measurement is a core task in pain management and a mechanism by which pain disparities may be reduced. Pain measurement includes the methods (e.g., assessment approaches, tools) and metrics that researchers and clinicians use to understand the characteristics of pain. However, there are significant issues and gaps that negatively affect pain measurement in older African Americans. Of concern is insufficient representation in pain research, which impedes the testing and refinement of many standardized self-report, behavioral and surrogate report, physiological, and composite measures of pain. The purposes for this article are to discuss the status of pain measurement and factors that affect our knowledge on pain measurement in older African Americans, and to provide guidance for culturally conscientious pain measurement using the available literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several factors are associated with the development or exacerbation of pain in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). In this study, we reviewed this context based on relevant studies. METHODS Recent published studies which have addressed the relationship between pain and KOA were summarized. RESULTS Correlates of the clinical, demographic features, laboratory tests and abnormalities on radiographic as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the knee pain have been discussed. The results indicated that many factors such as synovitis, synovial effusion, obesity, as well as structural lesions determined by MRI or radiographic examination, serum cytokines, inflammatory markers are determinants of pain in KOA. CONCLUSION This context requires further investigations for identification of additional factors which initiate pain in asymptomatic KOA.
