Rheumatoid arthritis treatments
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.
