The current treatment of rheumatic diseases is based on the principles of improving joint and muscle pain, controlling disease progression, reducing complications and protecting the function of important organs, which mainly includes general treatment, drug treatment and other treatments, among which drug treatment is the main one. Before treating rheumatism, it is necessary to clearly diagnose the type of rheumatism suffered, because the type, dosage and course of drugs used for different types of rheumatism are different. The general treatment of rheumatic diseases mainly includes patient education, so that patients have a correct understanding of the rheumatic diseases they suffer from, eliminating fear, urging patients to follow medical advice, regular follow-up, understanding the need for long-term follow-up, and avoiding various factors that affect the prognosis of the disease. Medication is the basis and the main treatment for rheumatic diseases, and usually oral medication is the mainstay. There are many kinds of drugs for rheumatism, and doctors will select suitable drugs according to the type of disease and the severity of the disease, such as hormones and immunosuppressants for rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, myositis, etc.; anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs for ankylosing spondylitis, gout and osteoarthritis. The drug treatment of rheumatic diseases also includes the management of complications, such as the use of calcium and bisphosphonates to treat hormone-related osteoporosis; the use of antibiotics to treat interstitial lung fibrosis combined with infection; the use of liver-protective drugs to treat liver injury, etc. In addition, there are many other methods for the treatment of rheumatic diseases, such as injection of drugs into the joint cavity, plasma replacement, autologous stem cell suppression, and artificial joint replacement, which need to be selected according to the specific type of rheumatic disease and the degree of the disease, and are generally not used as conventional treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine also has certain advantages in the treatment of rheumatic diseases, such as improving dryness symptoms in patients with dry syndrome, regulating blood uric acid levels in patients with gout, and reducing the adverse effects of anti-rheumatic drugs. Therefore, the severity of rheumatism varies from person to person, and the treatment plan is more individualized. Patients with rheumatic diseases should strictly comply with the treatment plan formulated by rheumatologists and systematically standardize their treatment.
