Central Aspects of Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis (CAP-RA): protocol for a prospective observational study (2021)
Journal Article
Ifesemen, O., McWilliams, D. F., Ferguson, E., Wakefield, R., Akin-Akinyosoye, K., Wilson, D., …Walsh, D. A. (2021). Central Aspects of Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis (CAP-RA): protocol for a prospective observational study. BMC Rheumatology, 5(1), Article 23. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41927-021-00187-2

Background: Pain and fatigue are persistent problems in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Central sensitisation (CS) may contribute to pain and fatigue, even when treatment has controlled inflammatory disease. This study aims to validate a self-repor...
