Novel approach to modeling high-frequency activity data to assess therapeutic effects of analgesics in chronic pain conditions

Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic condition often associated with pain, affecting approximately fourteen percent of the population, and increasing in prevalence. A globally aging population have made treating OA-associated pain as well as maintaining mobility and activity a public health pri...
