This paper investigates the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the effects of exercise and cognitive-behavioral interventions on fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The study aims to enhance understanding of how these interventions alleviate fatigue, potentially guiding more effective treatments for rheumatoid arthritis.
