Priority 1 from the Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (Netherlands) PSP

UNCERTAINTY: Pain and fatigue are often present when the disease is in remission. How does this happen, what can one do about it, and can one predict which patients will suffer from them? (JLA PSP Priority 1)
Overall ranking 1
JLA question ID 0094/1
Explanatory note This question asks about complaints (especially pain and fatigue) when the disease is in remission. Currently, it remains largely unknown why pain and fatigue occur when the disease is in remission and it results in a significant burden of disease. That is why this is an important question to address for the research community.
