Fear of Movement in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Mental health, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how fear of movement (kinesiophobia) affects daily life and disease activity in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help find better ways to support patients who avoid moving because of pain or worry.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
