Brief summary (from the registry)

Participants will be recruited consecutively from the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic at Samsun Training and Research Hospital. After informed consent, demographic and clinical information will be recorded and validated questionnaires will be administered. The results may help to better understand psychological and body-related experiences in RA and FM and support more comprehensive patient care.
