Pain mechanisms in PsA: differentiating inflammation-related pain in Achilles enthesitis using US and functional MRI
US-detected entheseal inflammation may be associated with distinct central pain-processing features, supporting the role of US as a useful tool for identifying underlying inflammatory mechanisms in PsA-related pain. Understanding the interaction between peripheral inflammation and central sensitization may guide more personalized and effective pain management strategies.
