Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage breakdown, subchondral bone changes, and synovial inflammation, culminating in chronic pain that severely impairs physical function and quality of life. Recent evidence suggests that OA-associated pain also involves neuroinflammation and altered pain processing pathways in the central and peripheral nervous system. Despite its high prevalence, the underlying mechanisms of OA progression and pain remain poorly understood, hindering the development of effective treatments. This study aims to elucidate the mechanism of neuroinflammation in post-traumatic OA in a rat model.
