Pain in Osteoarthritis
Speaker: Prof. Jason McDougall

In this webinar on pain osteoarthritis, our distinguished speaker Prof. Jason McDougall will examine the relationship between age, sex, and trauma on joint pain neurobiology. Age-related
osteoarthritis can lead to a sensitization of mechanosensitive nerves in the joint, but these nociceptive responses as shown by electrophysiology do not correlate with disease severity. Prof. McDougall will discuss how female post traumatic joint pain is encoded differently from males and a potential mechanism responsible for this disparity and highlight the contribution of peripheral neuropathy to osteoarthritis and the role of voltage-gated sodium channels in eliciting this type of joint pain.

This workshop is brought to you by the ICRS Translational Research Committee and hosted by Prof. Adetola Adesida.
