Sponsor's own description
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease with a prevalence of up to 30% among adults over 45 years old. Moreover, elderly people over 60 years are more prone to develop a chronification of pain symptomatology. Chronic pain in OA enormously restricts patients' ability to perform their daily activities, eliciting psychological distress and mood alterations, and producing massive socioeconomic consequences. For these reasons, any non-invasive drug-free treatment that decreases chronic pain in OA requires serious evaluation. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of noninvasive interoceptive stimulation (affective touch) in treating chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA).
