Conditions
Summary
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition, causing inflammation and pain. Yet pain may persist even when inflammation has been treated. This residual pain, called nociplastic pain, has symptoms of a chronic pain condition called fibromyalgia. There are few effective therapies to address this residual pain. Published literature shows that fibromyalgia can be treated by neurofeedback, a noninvasive method that is based on the voluntary modulation of cortical activity. In this pilot study, the investigators want to test the effect of neurofeedback on the fibromyalgia component of pain in rheumatoid arthritis, and also to investigate its effects on related symptoms such as fatigue and sleep disturbance.
