Background summary
Over the last two decades, there have been many improvements in the
pharmacological treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, pain in RA
often remains problematic, as the mechanism of persistent pain may originate
from central pain regulatory mechanisms, rather than persistent peripheral
stimuli of nociceptors. As such, instruments able to identify the presence and
severity of generalized pain hypersensitivity could be useful in clinical
management of RA. A recently developed questionnaire called the Generalized
Pain Questionnaire (GPQ) could help for that purpose. In this study we want to
evaluate the test-retest reliability of the GPQ in RA patients.
Study objective
Examination of the test-retest reliability (two weeks) and measurement errors
of the recently developed and validated self-report generalized pain
questionnaire (GPQ).
Study design
Mono-center, cross-sectional study with a two-week follow-up questionnaire.
Study burden and risks
Patients are asked to fill the GPQ twice (from home), approximately two weeks
apart. Furthermore, during the second measurement, patients are further asked
to fill in the PCACDA. No risks are involved in this study.
