SUMMARY:Osteoarthritis
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis\, and pain is its defining symptom. Osteoarthritis is a complex disease whose etiology bridges biomechanics and biochemistry. Available treatment options\, of which NSAIDs are the most common\, often provide inadequate relief and are associated with health risks when used long term. \nEvidence is growing for the role of systemic factors (such as genetics\, dietary intake\, estrogen use\, and bone density) and of local biomechanical factors (such as muscle weakness\, obesity\, and joint laxity). Clinical investigations are uncovering the correlation with structural changes in the joint and insights into the efficacy of new analgesics and the pathophysiology of OA pain.

Survey data were collected pre-tour\, immediately post-tour\, and at three weeks post-tour. Pain intensity and unpleasantness were measured with a 0–10 numerical rating scale. Social disconnection was measured with a 12-item social disconnection scale. Participants also reported percent pain relief during the tour and program satisfaction in the post-tour survey. Change in pain and social disconnection was analyzed with paired t tests\, bias-corrected and accelerated bootstrap confidence intervals (BCa CIs)\, and Cohen’s d.
