What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

SUMMARY Background: Several studies have shown physical activity (PA) to be inversely correlated to disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. However, it is unclear whether improved PA leads to lower disease activity or if low disease activity predicts improved PA in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Furthermore, it is unknown how fibromyalgia (FM) affects this interaction. Objective(s): Our primary objective will be to compare the effect of an immediate improvement in physical activity after one week on the proportion of RA patients achieving low disease activity after 12 weeks of biological treatment. Furthermore, we will explore whether the presence of concomitant FM affects this clinical response (i.e., interaction between FM status and PA response). Design: A prospective cohort study in the form of a target-trial attempting to address a causal question comparing the out
