How to treat rheumatism?
Rheumatism (RA) is a common self-immunological disease, manifested in joint pain, swelling and rigidity, which seriously affects the quality of life and the ability of patients to function. Failure to provide timely treatment can lead to joint malformations and loss of function. The key to its treatment is early diagnosis, early treatment, with the goal of reducing symptoms, controlling progress and improving quality of life.
The treatment of rheumatism includes drug treatment, physiotherapy and surgical treatment, of which drug treatment is the main means. The drugs are divided into the following categories:
– Non-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): such as Broven, aspirin, etc., can quickly relieve joint pain and swelling, but do not prevent progress, often as a line drug for improving symptoms, with regard to adverse effects such as gastrointestinal tracts.
– Traditional synthesis to improve the condition of the rheumatoids (DMARDs): such as aminos, which are the cornerstone of the treatment and are generally subject to long-term administration, which slows the development of the condition, protects the function of the joint, but has a slow effect, has side effects, has damage to the function of the liver and kidney, etc., and is subject to regular monitoring of indicators during the time of use.
– Biological agents: Inflammation can be quickly and effectively controlled for specific inflammation factors, such as tumour cause of death, and can have a significant impact on patients with poor treatment of traditional drugs, but at relatively high prices, some of whom may have adverse effects such as increased risk of infection.
– Sugar cortex hormones: when acute outbreaks or other drugs are not yet effective, they can be used for short periods of time and at small doses, such as Poneyson, which can reduce inflammation quickly, although the long-term use of adverse effects is numerous and requires careful use.
Physical therapy can be used as a support tool, including heat dressing, cold dressing, massage, acupuncture, rehabilitation training, etc., which helps to improve the local blood circulation of joints, alleviate pain, increase muscle strength around joints, maintain joint activity and improve the self-care capacity of patients. Rehabilitation training should be based on the principles of gradual, individualized and non-excessive work to increase joint damage.
The surgical treatment applies to patients with severe joint malformations and severe functional limitations, with common surgical procedures related to swipes, membranes, etc. The transfer of joints can significantly improve the function of the joints and improve the quality of life, but the risks of surgery and the post-operative rehabilitation process require that the patient be fully informed and co-ordinated.
Self-management of patients is also important in the treatment process. Patients must maintain a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet, adequate proteins, vitamins and minerals in order to maintain muscle strength and joint health; moderate exercise, so as to avoid long periods of inactivity or excessive exercise, which increases the burden of joints; and absconding alcohol, regular consumption and reducing mental stress, as there is a correlation between emotional state and disease activity. At the same time, patients are required to comply strictly with medical instructions, not to reduce their own doses or stop them, and to periodically review indicators such as blood protocol, liver and kidney function, blood sunk, C reaction protein, so that doctors can keep abreast of changes in the situation and adjust their treatment programmes.
The treatment of rheumatism is a long-term process, in which patients, families and health-care providers work together to implement comprehensive treatment measures to help patients to effectively control their condition, improve their quality of life, return to normal living and working conditions as much as possible and live in harmony with the disease.
