Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) pain mechanisms are poorly understood. We used the monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) model of knee OA to characterize changes in excitability during the course of OA in different classes of mechanosensitive afferents projecting to joint-associated tissues, and examine whether these afferent responses and pain behavior are correlated.
