Othman R, Jayakaran P, Swain N, et al. - Via performing this systematic review, researchers sought to establish the level of evidence of correlations between psychological, social, physical activity, and sleep measures and somatosensory function that appraised via quantitative sensory testing (QST) among individuals with joint pain. They performed a comprehensive literature search in six electronic databases from their inception to July 2019 and identified 17 studies related to joint pain for inclusion.
