Antidepressants for pain management in rheumatoid arthritis

The essence of the experience of chronic pain – a phenomenological study

“…The participants of this study claimed that regular physiotherapy or medical interventions had only little positive effects on chronic pain, a notion that is supported in the literature, e.g., Richards et al (2011Richards et al ( , 2012 and Menke (2013). Schroeder et al (2013) in their latest review concluded that there are minimal short-and long-term treatment differences in pain, disability, patientrated treatment improvement, treatment satisfaction, health status, or functional improvement when comparing manipulation or mobilization therapy to physical therapy or exercise in patients with neck pain.…”

Overview of Cochrane Systematic Reviews of rehabilitation interventions for persons with rheumatoid arthritis: a mapping synthesis

“… 30 Compared to placebo or traditional NSAIDs, Celecoxib provided no positive effects on physical function at 6-12 weeks. 28 Similarly, two other comparisons, tricyclic antidepressants versus placebo at 4-12 weeks 31 and opioids versus placebo at 1-2 weeks, showed no effects in terms of physical function. 32 …”

Does Having Rheumatoid Arthritis Increase the Dose of Depression Medications? A Mendelian Randomization Study

“…Second, RA is influenced in part by sex, but our study did not distinguish between men and women, and we need to take this into account when analyzing the dose of depression medication use in single-sex populations alone. Third, depressive medications are often used to treat neuropathic or chronic pain present in RA [58,59], which may have interfered with our results to some extent. Finally, our study only investigated whether RA significantly increased the dose of depression medications, and we should investigate the relationship between RA and depression to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this relationship.…”
