Back pain is a common and debilitating disorder with largely unknown underlying biology. Here we report genome-wide association study of back using diagnoses assigned in clinical practice; dorsalgia (119,100 cases, 909,847 controls) intervertebral disc (IDD) (58,854 922,958 controls). We identify 41 variants at 33 loci. The most significant (OR

This study compared sensitization in OA TKA (re-TKA).Median pressure thresholds (PPTs) assessed from the most affected (localized sensitization) were used to subgroup 53 20 re-TKA: group 1: high-knee PPT; 2: low-knee 3: re-TKA 4: PPT. Clinical intensity was using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Bilateral PPTs measured...
