People with chronic pain also routinely demonstrate motor deficiencies, including skill learning. The goals of the current study were to (1) provide a thorough analysis of corticomotor and intracortical excitability in people with chronic arthritic hand pain, and (2) examine the relationship between these measures and performance on a motor skill learning task.Except as permitted under the United States Copyright Act, no part of this publication may be reproduced or distributed in any form or by any means without prior written permission from Wohlers Associates Inc.Arthritis; Corticomotor excitability; Motor learning; Neural plasticityJournal ArticleOpenAccess10.1097/AJP.0000000000000392
