Rheumatoid arthritis is mainly treated with drugs, specifically as follows: 1. Non steroidal drugs can effectively reduce the symptoms and signs of inflammation for patients with active rheumatoid arthritis, and also have the effects of antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and improving joint function. 2. Glucocorticoids can alleviate the clinical symptoms of patients, but taking them for a long time may cause adverse reactions. 3. Antirheumatic drugs and biological agents can delay the progress of the disease, maintain the function of joints, and improve the quality of life of patients. For patients with late stage, joint deformity and loss of function, surgery can be selected in regular hospitals, such as artificial joint replacement and synovectomy.
