Determinants of non-nociceptive pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

CONCLUSION: NP was associated with disease activity/functional scores but not with objective inflammatory measures. Greater structural damage, increased disease duration and ACPA positivity did not seem to increase the odds of NP. Possible association of NP and underlying csDMARD treatment was uncovered.
