Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic systemic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the lining of the synovial joints which symmetrically involves the small joints, can cause cartilage and bone damage and associated with progressive disability, premature deaths, and socioeconomic burdens. Despite the recent advancement in RA treatment, neuropathic pain remains a cause of persistent pain even in controlled disease activity.
