Treatment approaches against rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease has inflammatory properties and causes some problems in the joints and decreases the quality of life of the individuals. It is thought that some factors such as environmental, genetic, hormonal, psychological and age have an effect on the development of rheumatoid arthritis, which affects the musculoskeletal system and can cause damage to some organs. Glucocorticoids, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are preferred within the scope of the treatment.
