At present, rheumatoid arthritis cannot be cured, and its treatment course is related to the duration of the disease, the degree of the disease and the treatment, requiring early diagnosis and standardized treatment. Most rheumatoid arthritis treatments may last a lifetime. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease, with erosive, symmetrical polyarthritis as the main clinical. It is not yet curable or self-healing, and can be treated with medication and surgery to relieve or reduce disease activity, with the duration of the treatment course varying from person to person. However, most rheumatoid arthritis treatment programs may be lifelong. Common medications used to treat rheumatoid arthritis include aspirin, diclofenac sodium, methotrexate, leflunomide, prednisone, etc., all of which should be used under the guidance of a medical professional. In case of advanced joint deformity and loss of function, artificial joint replacement or synovectomy surgery may be performed. It is recommended that patients with rheumatoid arthritis should consult the rheumatology and immunology department in a timely manner, under the guidance of doctors for standardized treatment and regular follow-up.
