The subjective and objective quantitative indicators of the articular syndrome were also analyzed: determination of the severity of pain in the joints (points), pain assessment according to the visual analogue scale (VAS) (mm), morning stiffness (points and minutes), articular count, articular index, counting number of inflamed joints, determination of the strength of compression of the hand (mm Hg), the circumference of the proximal interphalangeal joints, index Richie,functional index and severity index.
