Rheumatoid arthritis treatments

Average rating: 4 out of 5 star rating

There is no cure for RA. However, much can be done to help. The aims of treatment are:

  • To reduce pain and stiffness in affected joints as much as possible.
  • To prevent joint damage as much as possible.
  • To minimise any disability caused by pain, joint damage, or deformity.
  • To reduce the risk of developing associated conditions such as heart disease.
