The stability of pain phenotypes in people with hand osteoarthritis – results from the NOR-HAND study
Four distinct pain phenotypes were identified among persons with hand OA. Excluding QST from our model did not influence phenotype composition or characteristics. Various longitudinal phenotype stability was observed. Between-class transitions were often characterized by less pain and psychosocial burden, potentially due to regression to the mean or improved disease coping.
