DOIAbstract
The etiology of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) is complex and multifactorial. A growing number of studies suggest that modification of pain-transmission in the peripheral and central nervous system, leading to sensitization, plays a role in OA pain. Sensitization seems to be associated with neuropathic pain-like symptoms and assessment of these symptoms can help to identify patients who could benefit from additional treatment options. Several questionnaires are available to distinguish neuropathic from nociceptive pain symptoms
