Sleep Disturbance Predicts Greater Pain Interference in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
09/15/2025
Riya Gandhi, MA
A prospective cohort study finds that poor sleep consistently predicts greater pain-related interference with daily life 6 months later in patients with early RA, suggesting sleep as a potential target for improving long-term pain outcomes.
