The electron neuromyography (ENMG) and clinical data were studied in 70 patients with rheumatoid arthritis during an exacerbation and remission. The pathologically changed ENMG data disagreed with subjective and clinical improvement seen during the remission. The patients' condition out of rheumatoid arthritis exacerbation is considered as a syndrome of unstable adaptation. Frequent exacerbations of rheumatoid arthritis are supposed to depend on unstability of the adaptation mechanisms during a remission.
