The treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is mainly based on medication, which aims at controlling the patient’s condition, reducing the disease activity and minimizing the disability rate. Commonly used medications include slow-acting anti-rheumatic drugs such as methotrexate, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib, and glucocorticosteroids such as prednisone, and so on. 2. Surgical treatment: including artificial joint replacement and synovectomy, the former is suitable for late deformity and loss of function of the joints, synovectomy can relieve the condition to some extent, but when the synovial membrane hyperplasia tends to recur, so it is necessary to apply anti-rheumatic slow-acting drugs at the same time. 3. General treatment: including patients’ psychological guidance, appropriate rest, joint braking (acute stage), joint function exercise (recovery stage), physical therapy, etc. It is recommended that rheumatoid arthritis patients go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals for detailed consultation and standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors.
