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...

Background
RA flares are common and disabling. They are described in terms of worsening pain, swelling, or other symptoms. We aimed to determine characteristics, antecedants and sequelae of painful and inflammatory flare subtypes during the first 11...

Trajectories of pain predict disabilities affecting daily living in arthritis (2019)
Journal Article
James, R. J., Walsh, D. A., & Ferguson, E. (2019). Trajectories of pain predict disabilities affecting daily living in arthritis. British Journal of Health Psychology, 24(3), 465-496. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjhp.12364

Purpose: To examine the interplay between pain and disability in arthritis when adjusting for patient heterogeneity in pain progression. There is consistent evidence to suggest that people experience osteoarthritis heterogeneously, with subgroups of...
