Background
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) RA is characterized by joint inflammation causing peripheral pain, however the relation between peripheral pathology and pain intensity is weak. There is substantial evidence that also pain modulation mechanisms are dysregulated in RA. For example, generalized
This study evaluates whether periradicular exudate concentrations of cytokines differ in patients experiencing pain and mechanical allodynia due to pulpal necrosis with an acute exacerbation of a chronic apical periodontitis, as compared to patients with pulpal necrosis with chronic apical
