Association Between Discordance of Disease Activity Indices and Quantitative Sensory Testing Measures of Nociplastic Pain in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Two of our proposed measures of discordance (higher TSJD and DAS28-P) were modestly associated with worse QST measures of nociplastic pain (lower trapezius PPT and higher TS), suggesting that discordance between patient-reported and physician-assessed measures of disease activity may reflect an element of nociplastic pain.
