Change in MRI-detected synovitis is correlated with change in pain score in knee OA

This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.

The cause of pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) is unclear, although cross-sectional studies suggest that bone marrow and periarticular lesions, knee effusion and synovial thickening are observed more frequently in patients who report pain than in those with similar radiographic damage but no pain. Hill and colleagues aimed to evaluate the temporal relationship between pain and MRI-detected synovitis in knee OA.
