About the study

The kneepain study was originally a combination of two studies examining the thoughts, beliefs and brain activity of people who have experienced knee pain for 6-weeks or more and exhibit signs of pain-related fear of movement. The qualitative component of the study has now finished and we are concentrating on examining peoples' brain activity.

 

The study involves having people with kneecap pain undergo brain scans (called functional magnetic resonance imaging) while watching videos of people doing activities that typically aggravate knee pain.

​

If you live in Sydney, are between 18-35 years old and have experienced pain at around your kneecap for 6-weeks of more, you may be eligible to participate in one or both studies. 

​

Participating in these study will help improve management of kneecap pain.
