A comprehensive search was performed across multiple databases, including PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, OpenGrey, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering records from inception to September 2023. Eligible studies were randomized controlled trials that examined psychological interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and biofeedback in adults with knee OA diagnosed based on established clinical or radiological criteria.

From the 3,649 records identified, 70 studies met the inclusion criteria, and 20 studies involving 3,138 participants were included in the meta-analysis.

Furthermore, the invariance in symptom networks between men and women was estimated. The results indicated that 'feeling excluded' was the most central symptom. Furthermore, the symptoms 'feeling excluded' and 'anhedonia' have the strongest relationship and can be considered as bridge symptoms between loneliness and depressive disorders.
