Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Chronic Pain Display Enhanced Alpha Power Density at Rest

Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Chronic Pain Display Enhanced Alpha Power Density at Rest

Patients with chronic pain due to neuropathy or musculoskeletal injury frequently exhibit reduced alpha and increased theta power densities. However, little is known about electrical brain activity and chronic pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). For this purpose, we evaluated power den...
