Inflammatory and Noninflammatory Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Effect of Pain on Personalized Medicine (2023)
Journal Article
McWilliams, D. F., & Walsh, D. A. (2023). Inflammatory and Noninflammatory Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Effect of Pain on Personalized Medicine. Journal of Rheumatology, 50(6), 721-723. https://doi.org/10.3899/jrheum.230158

Disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is often described in terms of inflammation, although noninflammatory mechanisms are also integral to the disease. Pain is the most important symptom for many people with RA, and is therefore a key compo...

Disease Activity Flares and Pain Flares in an early rheumatoid arthritis inception cohort; characteristics, antecedents and sequelae (2019)
Journal Article

BMC Rheumatology, 3, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41927-019-0100-9

Background
RA flares are common and disabling. They are described in terms of worsening inflammation but pain and inflammation are often discordant. To inform treatment decisions, we investigated whether inflammatory and pain flares are discrete ent...
