Carmen M Galvez-SánchezStefan DuschekGustavo A Reyes Del PasoPublished in: Psychology research and behavior management (2024)
The study confirmed significant impairments in attention, memory, and higher cognitive functions in both FMS and RA. The greater deficits seen in FMS patients may at least partly be explained by more severe pain and secondary symptoms. Cognitive screening may facilitate the development of personalized treatment plans to optimize the quality of life of FMS and RA patients.
