Inflammation of the finger joints can be caused by diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Treatment should be clearly diagnosed first and then given accordingly. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, joint activity should be reduced or even inactivated during the acute phase, and joint function exercises should be paid attention to during the recovery period. Commonly used drugs to improve symptoms are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-rheumatic drugs, glucocorticoids, biologics targeted therapy, etc. When choosing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, attention should also be paid to their side effects on the gastrointestinal tract, and specific drugs should be selected according to the patient’s gastrointestinal condition. Anti-rheumatic drugs can improve and delay the disease, but they are slow to work. Methotrexate is the drug of choice, but other drugs can be used if not tolerated. Glucocorticosteroids provide rapid symptomatic relief, and the principle is small doses and short courses of treatment. Targeted therapy with biological agents is a rapidly developing therapy, including TNF-a antagonists. For the above specific medications, please refer to the clinical situation and follow the guidance of the doctor’s interview. In the case of osteoarthritis, attention should be paid to reducing joint activity and protecting the joint properly, such as sodium hyaluronate injection, etc. If the condition is severe, surgical treatment can be used. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, pain caused by inflammation of the finger joints can be treated with methods to relax the tendons and activate the channels, regulate the qi and resolve the stasis, such as peach and red four-item soup with externally applied stretching herbs. At the same time, the patient’s constitution and symptoms should be combined for evidence-based treatment. Inflammation of the finger joints should first be treated by finding the cause and making a clear diagnosis. The specific medication should be combined with clinical practice and guided by the doctor’s interview.
