This study aimed to examine the differences in the ability to perform various activities of daily living (ADLs) among groups with various knee problems. The participants consisted of 328 elderly females (age 60–94; mean age 76.1 years; standard deviation 6.2). The subjects were classified into three groups: those without knee pain, those with mild knee pain, and those with severe knee pain. ADLs with markedly higher (>97%) and lower (<38%) achievement rates in the group without knee pain were not significantly different among the three groups. Achievement rates of 40%–97% for ADLs were significantly lower in the group with severe knee pain than in the group without knee pain. In addition, the groups with mild and severe knee pain demonstrated significantly lower achievement rates of ascending and descending stairs and sitting up than the group without knee pain. In conclusion, regardless of the presence of absence of mild or severe knee pain, some ADLs are difficult to achieve, while others are easy. The elderly with severe knee pain find it difficult to achieve many ADLs. In addition, it is difficult for the elderly with mild and severe knee pain to ascend and descend stairs and to sit up.

First evidence indicates that the supplementation of specific collagen peptides is associated with a significant reduction in activity-related joint pain in young adults. The purpose of the current investigation was to confirm the efficacy of the same collagen peptides in a comparable study population. In total, 180 active men and women aged between 18 and 30 years with exercise-related knee pain but no diagnosed joint disease completed the trial over a period of 12 weeks. Participants were randomly assigned to the group receiving 5 g of specific collagen peptides (CP-G) or to the placebo group (P-G). For the primary outcome, changes in pain during or after exercise from pre- to post-intervention were assessed by the participants using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). These changes were additionally evaluated by the examining physician by means of anamnesis and physical examination of the affected knee joint. As secondary outcomes, pain under resting conditions and after 20 squats were compared between the study groups. In addition, the mobility of the knee joint and the use of alternative therapies (e.g., ointments or physiotherapy) were recorded. The supplementation of specific collagen peptides derived from type I collagen with a mean molecular weight of 3 kDa led to a significantly (p = 0.024) higher reduction of exercise-induced knee pain (−21.9 ± 18.3 mm) compared with the placebo group (−15.6 ± 18.5 mm). These findings were consistent with the physician’s evaluation (−23.0 ± 19.2 mm vs. −14.6 ± 17.9 mm, p = 0.003). The decrease in pain under resting conditions and after squats did not significantly differ between the groups, as only a small number of participants suffered from pain under these conditions. Due to the clinically unremarkable baseline values, the mobility of the knee joint did not change significantly after the intervention. In conclusion, the current investigation confirmed that the oral intake of bioactive collagen peptides used in the current investigation led to a statistically significant reduction of activity-related joint pain in young active adults suffering from knee joint discomfort.

Objectives: Osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases among older people which is one the most important causes of disability and heavy socio-economic burden on the elderly and society. This study aimed to investigate the effect of melilotus officinalis oil on knee joint pain and stiffness among older adults with mild to moderate primary knee osteoarthritis. Methods & Materials: This is a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial (registration code: IRCT2016082129461N1). Participants were 61 eligible older adults (35 females and 26 males with a mean age of 78±7.79 years) residing in one of the nursing homes in Tehran, Iran who had mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis clinically diagnosed by an orthopedic physician. Then they were assigned randomly into two groups of intervention and control received melilotus officinalis oil and diclofenac gel, respectively, using a randomization table based on balance block randomization. The data were collected using a demographic form and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) for evaluating knee joint pain and stiffness at baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after the intervention. Collected data were analyzed in SPSS V. 23 software.  Results: There was no statistically significant different between the intervention and control groups in terms of sociodemographic variables (age, education, marital status, occupation, smoking, physical activity, chronic illness, and medication) at baseline. Knee pain (F1,58=119.07, P<0.001) and joint stiffness (F 1,58=19.9, P<0.001) reduced significantly in both groups, where the effect size was higher in the intervention group. No considerable side effect reported during the study. Conclusion: Compared to diclofenac gel, melilotus officinalis oil can reduce knee joint pain and stiffness in older people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. Therefore, it is suggested for treatment of people with knee osteoarthritis. Further studies are recommended to investigate the mechanism of melilotus oficinalis oil in reducing knee pain and stiffness and determine its effective dosage.

Background:OLE provides oleuropein the most prevalent phenolic component in olive leaves and has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects potentially interesting for joint health (1).Objectives:The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 6-month intervention with an Olive Leaf Extract (OLE) standardized for oleuropein content on knee functionality and biomarkers of bone/cartilage metabolism and inflammation.Methods:The study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-centric trial of 124 subjects with mild knee pain or mobility issues. Subjects were randomized equally to receive twice a day one capsule of either maltodextrin (control treatment, CT) or 125-mg OLE (BonoliveTM, an Olive Leaf Extract containing 50 mg of Oleuropein) for 6 months. The co-primary endpoints were Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) using a self-administered questionnaire and serum Coll2-1NO2 specific biomarker of cartilage degradation. The secondary endpoints were each of the five sub-scales of the KOOS questionnaire, Knee pain VAS score at rest and at walking, OARSI core set of performance-based tests and serum biomarkers (Coll2-1, MPO, CTX1, osteocalcin, PGE2 and Vplex cytokines assay in serum) and concentration of Oleuropein’s metabolites in urine.Results:Primary (global KOOS score, biomarker Coll2-1 NO2) and secondary endpoints (the five subscales of the KOOS score) improved time dependently in both groups. OLE treatment showed significantly elevated urinary oleuropein metabolites (oleuropein aglycone, hydroxytyrosol, homovanillyl alcohol and isomer of homovanillyl alcohol), and was well tolerated without significant differences in number of subjects with adverse events. At 6 months, OLE group showed a higher global KOOS score compared to placebo (treatment difference = 3.73; 95% CI = [-4.08;11.54]; p = 0.34), without significant changes of inflammatory and cartilage remodeling biomarkers. Subgroup analyses demonstrated a large and significant treatment effect of OLE in subjects with high walking pain at baseline (14.4; 95% CI = [1.19;27.63], p=0.03). This was observed at 6 months for the global KOOS score and each different subscale and for pain at walking (-23.07;95% CI = [-41.8;-4.2];p=0.02). These treatment effects at 6 months were significant for KOOS score as well as for the subscales Pain and QoL and the pain at walking.Conclusion:OLE was not effective on joint discomfort in people with low to moderate pain at baseline but significantly benefited subjects with high pain at treatment initiation. As oleuropein is well-tolerated, OLE can be used to relieve knee joint pain and enhance mobility in subjects with articular pain the most painful subjects.References:[1] Horcajada MN, Sanchez C, Membrez Scalfo F, Drion P, Comblain F, Taralla S, Donneau AF, Offord EA, Henrotin Y.

Chief Symptom

Context: Knee injury and disease are common, debilitating, and expensive. Pain is a chief symptom of knee injury and disease and likely contributes to arthrogenic muscle inhibition. Joint pain alters isolated motor function, muscular strength, and movement biomechanics. Because knee pain influences biomechanics, it likely also influences long-term knee joint health. Objective: The purpose of this article is 2-fold: (1) review effects of knee pain on lower-extremity muscular activation and corresponding biomechanics and (2) consider potential implications of neuromechanical alterations associated with knee pain for long-term knee joint health. Experimental knee pain is emphasized because it has been used to mimic clinical knee pain and clarify independent effects of knee pain. Three common sources of clinical knee pain are also discussed: patellofemoral pain, anterior cruciate ligament injury and reconstruction, and knee osteoarthritis. Data Sources: The PubMed, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus databases were searched for articles relating to the purpose of this article. Conclusion: Researchers have consistently reported that knee pain alters neuromuscular activation, often in the form of inhibition that likely occurs via voluntary and involuntary neural pathways. The effects of knee pain on quadriceps activation have been studied extensively. Knee pain decreases voluntary and involuntary quadriceps activation and strength and alters the biomechanics of various movement tasks. If allowed to persist, these neuromechanical alterations might change the response of articular cartilage to joint loads during movement and detrimentally affect long-term knee joint health. Physical rehabilitation professionals should consider neuromechanical effects of knee pain when treating knee injury and disease. Resolution of joint pain can likely help to restore normal movement neuromechanics and potentially improve long-term knee joint health and should be a top priority.

Many diseases and types of injuries of the knee joint take a lot of time for diagnosis and the elimination of all nosologies that may cause pain. The complexity of the anatomical device of the knee joint makes it possible to isolate from the general concept of pain in the knee joint of this pathogenetically grounded syndrome. The review gives an idea of ​​a significant number of types of knee joint pathology, which, due to the structural features and similarity of the clinical picture, can be combined into the anterior knee joint pain syndrome.

Abstract Background Studies have reported that exercise stretching therapy has a certain effect on improving knee joint pain and knee joint function.However, few studies have compared the effects of post-exercise stretching and non-stretching on strain of knee joint movement system. The purpose of this study is to observe the influence of whether people have stretched after exercise on knee joint pain and iliotibial band tension,and to compare the difference between the stretched group and the unstretched group after exercise for further discussion.Methods Collecting data analysis of 71 people who love sports in the First People's Hospital of Xiaoshan District from December 2019 to October 2020, including the non-stretching group after exercise (group A, n=40) and post-exercise stretching Group (Group B, n=31), compare the differences in knee pain and iliotibial band tension between the two groups and analyze the relationship between this difference and stretching.Results The incidence of knee pain and iliotibial band tension in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (P<0.05). The risk of knee pain in group A was 2.940 times greater than that in group B. The incidence of iliotibial band tension in group A was 4.190 times higher than that in group B. Conclusions 1. People who do not stretch after exercise are at higher risk of knee pain than those who stretch. 2. People who do not stretch are more likely to develop iliotibial band tension than those who stretch. 3. Stretching after exercise helps to relieve the stiffness of the iliotibial band, maintain the stability of the knee joint, and reduce the occurrence of knee pain.

Our study aimed to determine pain levels and the state of welfare connected to laser-based procedures in the treatment of patients diagnosed with uncontrolled glaucoma. The study group included 100 eyes of 100 patients diagnosed with glucoma, 50 of them being treated with micropulse transscleral laser cyclophotocoagulation, and the other 50 eyes being treated with continuous transscleral laser cyclophotocoagulation. We used visual analog scale to gather information from each patient. After analysing the individual information the following results were obtained: the pain level for the micropulse transscleral laser cyclophotocoagulation was 60.23 mm, signifying moderate pain; and the pain score for the continuous transscleral laser cyclophotocoagulation was 76.34 mm, corresponding to moderate-intense pain. Pain level generated by minimally invasive laser procedures is discussed.
