Beyond the visual analog scale: results from a multimodal pain assessment pilot study in first‐degree relatives of patients with rheumatoid arthritis

FDR, first-degree relative; mHAQ, modified health assessment questionnaire; PPT, pressure pain threshold; RA, rheumatoid arthritis; TS, temporal summation; VAS, visual analog scale. The protocol was designed as a pilot study to attempt to understand the feasibility of performing a broad, multimodal pain assessment in a clinically relevant cohort. [...]the analysis may be underpowered to identify group-level differences and limit the utility of multivariable regression. [...]we did not include any non-FDR individuals.
