In people with osteoarthritis (OA), the amount of pain is often not related to the amount of joint damage seen on x-ray. This suggests that there are other processes contributing to their pain. Recently, the role of the brain in contributing to chronic pain has been investigated. This project aims to determine what parts of the brain are affected in people with OA. It also aims to develop new treatments that target these brain areas and determine if these brain-training treatments decrease pain.

在骨关节炎(OA)患者中，疼痛的程度通常与X光所见的关节损伤程度无关。这表明，还有其他过程导致了他们的痛苦。最近，对大脑在慢性疼痛中的作用进行了研究。该项目旨在确定骨性关节炎患者大脑的哪些部分受到影响。它还致力于开发针对这些大脑区域的新疗法，并确定这些大脑训练疗法是否能减轻疼痛。
