Journal Article
Oppong, R., Jowett, S., Nicholls, E., Whitehurst, D., Hill, S., Hammond, A., …Dziedzic, K. (2013). COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF JOINT PROTECTION AND HAND EXERCISE FOR HAND OSTEOARTHRITIS. Rheumatology, 52(S1),

Background: European guidelines have proposed that joint protection and hand exercise should be used in the management of hand OA. However, the evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of these interventions has not been well established. A 2x2 fact...

Self-reported pain interference and symptoms of anxiety and depression in community-dwelling older adults: Can a temporal relationship be determined? (2010)
Journal Article
Arola, H., Nicholls, E., Mallen, C., & Thomas, E. (2010). Self-reported pain interference and symptoms of anxiety and depression in community-dwelling older adults: Can a temporal relationship be determined?. European Journal of Pain, 14(9), 966-971. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpain.2010.02.012

Pain and symptoms of depression and anxiety have been observed to co-exist in the community-dwelling elderly. While depression and pain have been suggested to be predictive of one another temporally, the longitudinal associations between anxiety and...
