The 2026 British Society for Rheumatology guideline for pain management in people with inflammatory arthritis.

Patient survey data suggest that non-pharmacological pain care with supportive trial evidence is underused.

A UK-specific guideline on pain management for people with inflammatory arthritis is required to address this.

This comprehensive life-course guideline is the first British Society for Rheumatology Guideline to specifically address pain in people with inflammatory arthritis.

It provides evidence-based recommendations on how pain can be best managed in people with inflammatory arthritis.
