Quantitative sensory testing is a way to understand pain in clinical research. Low correlation with Fibromyalgia surveys. Understanding NOCICEPTIVE, NEUROPATHIC, NOCIPLASTIC pain imp! Pressure pain thresholds predicted disease activity in #RA @Lee_Yvonne_C @RheumNow #ACR23 https://t.co/VjdyjudfdY

Assessment of organ involvement in scleroderma by Boin F, a great example of great clearly presented slides #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/zMwY1NGpYI

Need to point out limitations of QSTs too! Need trained researchers. Need some sort of quantification to help. Mechanism specific pain management is the goal! @RheumNow #ACR23 https://t.co/Frcger9ZUk

RheumNow’s expanded coverage of the #ACR23 annual meeting is sponsored in part by Novartis. All content is chosen by RheumNow & its faculty.

The message about scleroderma we need to keep on saying to those outside of rheumatology: you can get severe organ involvement in both limited & diffuse SSc survival is dictated by organ involvement screening is needed regardless! Francesco Boin #ACR23 Review Course @RheumNow https://t.co/otUPjWNVoo

Women are more sensitive to pain! Disconnect between the clinical problem and rat studies which are predominantly male! Sex as a biological variable! Policies change behavior! Now data is more balanced! @rheumnow #ACR23 https://t.co/NluYR25TtM

Chronic pain affects mortality!! Men with more pain sites (which correlates with numerical pain too) had higher early mortality compared to women- study in a large UK sample. @rheumnow #ACR23

Some key facts on Axial Spondyloarthritis, the overall ratio of M:F is 1:1, so not a male predominant condition #AxSpa Ogdie A #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/mfp9YIIdue

This is the real challenge of nr-axSpA: knowing where people land, and who will radiographically progress. Alexis Ogdie #ACR23 Review Course @RheumNow https://t.co/r4y6nwfvhG

Type III relapsing polychondritis has the MAGIC and VEXAS groups, with genital ulcers and haematological manifestations, 8% of RP patients have VEXAS, Ferrada M, #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/FsmBK0F7ZD

Pain without inflammation might be a myth! We need to understand a lot of immune cells before saying that! Important perpheral drivers may be important to study too! #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/VaRC1WAmiJ
