US discriminated between joint activity (synovitis) and joint damage (cartilage and\/or bone degeneration) applying the HEAD\u2010US protocol. Based on US\u2010findings, five subgroups were built: PwH with activity\/damage, PwH with activity\/no damage, PwH with no activity\/no damage, controls with activity\/no damage and controls with no activity\/no damage.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Joint activity and joint damage were significantly increased in ankles of PwH compared to Con (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> \u2264.001). Subgroup analysis revealed that structural alterations negatively impact pain perception. This is particularly evident when comparing PwH with both activity\/damage to PwH with no activity\/no damage at the tibiotalar joint (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.001). At the fibulotalar joint, no significant differences were observed between PwH subgroups. Further analysis showed that both joint activity and joint damage result in an increase in pain sensitivity (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> \u2264.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The data suggest a relation between joint activity, joint damage and pain perception in PwH. Even minor changes due to synovitis appear to affect pain perception, with the effect not intensifying at higher levels of inflammation. In terms of joint damage, severe degeneration leads to a sensitised pain state most robustly, whereas initial changes do not seem to significantly affect pain perception.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/hae.15011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,11]],"date-time":"2024-04-11T05:12:26Z","timestamp":1712812346000},"page":"827-835","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Structural
