Sensory examination of rheumatoid hand and the relationship with magnetic resonance imaging findings

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on the sensory status of the hand and to determine the relationship with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Materials and Methods: Thirty-three RA patients and controls were included in the study. Pain, hot-cold, touch, position, vibration and two point discrimination senses were evaluated in both groups. An MRI of the dominant hand was obtained in the RA group. Synovitis, tenosynovitis, bone erosion and edema were evaluated according to the OMERACT RA-MRI scoring system. Results: Pain, hot-cold, touch and position senses were normal in the RA group. Although vibration was correctly localised by all patients, 60.6% defined a decrease in intensity of vibration. Two point discrimination values were significantly higher in the RA group (p
