Pilot Feasibility Stud
May 2024
Article Synopsis
- Pain management in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains a significant issue, with many patients still experiencing pain despite treatment with DMARDs and biologics; this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of comprehensive pain assessments in RA patients on these treatments.*
-
- Conducted as an open-label, randomized trial, the study found that while participant recruitment was lower than expected—mostly due to COVID-19—pain assessments were practical and showed improvements in pain scores over 12 months.*
-
- Feedback indicated that some pain assessment questionnaires were too long and repetitive, but the overall study met its goals, demonstrating the potential for further research on pain management strategies in RA.*
