Neuropathic pain in end-stage hip and knee osteoarthritis: differential associations with patient-reported pain at rest and pain on activity

Findings support that possible neuropathic pain is experienced by a notable proportion of patients with end-stage hip and knee OA and is more strongly associated with pain at rest than pain on activity, particularly in men. Clinical presentation of pain at rest may warrant more thorough evaluation for potential neuropathic pain and have implications for appropriate pain management.
