From: Neural and psychosocial contributions to sex differences in knee osteoarthritic pain
Study | Findings |

Fransen et al., 2002 [71] | Systematic review showing exercise reduces pain and improves function in OA; sex differences not reported. |
Lamb et al., 2008 [16] | Behavioral interventions prior to surgery improve self-efficacy, decrease pain, and improve function in OA; sex differences not reported. |

Marks et al., 2009 [18] | People with depression have reduced function and recover slower after total joint replacement; sex differences not reported. |
Pells et al., 2008 [69] | Higher self-efficacy scores in pain and function correlate with lower pain and greater function in OA; sex differences not reported. |
Perrot et al., 2008 [66] | Passive coping strategies generally result in higher pain and lower function; sex differences not reported. |
Riddle et al., 2010 [68] | Higher catastrophizing scores are associated with poor outcome 6Â months after total knee replacement; sex differences not reported. |
Shelby et al., 2008 [70] | Self-efficacy beliefs underlie the relation between pain catastrophizing and pain; sex differences not reported. |

Somers et al., 2009 [72] | Pain-related fear explains part of the variance in physical disability, pain, and function in OA; sex differences not reported. |
Sullivan et al., 2009 [14] | Higher pain catastrophizing scores are associated with greater pain and disability 6Â weeks after total joint replacement; sex differences not reported. |
Tonelli et al., 2011 [15] | Shows greater pain during movement in women with late stage OA; no difference in depression, anxiety or pain catastrophizing between sexes in OA; models predictors of movement pain in women and men with OA. |
