Name Time Method Main Objective: Assess the analgesic efficacy of Montelukast through the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) after 24 weeks, compared to placebo, in patients with hand erosive arthritis.;Secondary Objective: -Assess the efficacy of Montelukast measured as the increase of the hands’ functionality among the study groups during the treatment period.<br>- Assess the changes observed by MRI on the radiological signs of the studied joints (synovitis, bone edema, bone erosions, and flexor tendon tenosynovitis) among the study groups during the treatment period. <br>- Know the percentage of rescue medication use and withdrawals during the study.<br>- Assess the quality-of-life differences among the study groups.<br>- Assess the safety and tolerability of Montelukast.;Primary end point(s): Pain intensity difference in relation to baseline pain (PIDt) after 24 weeks, measured through the Visual Analog Scale (VAS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and 24 weeks
