Targeted pain relief is a major unmet medical need for patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA), where approximately 40% of patients experience persistent pain. Self-reported questionnaires which report on pain sensitivity and neuropathic like pain may provide an insight into certain pain types to guide targeted treatment.
