Therapeutic intervention with intra-articular steroid injections in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has evolved from experience with adults with inflammatory joint disease, with the earliest report being published in 1951. The technique has subsequently been introduced into paediatric rheumatology practice, although much of the evidence supporting its use remains anecdotal or based on open, non-controlled studies. This review examines the body of evidence relating to many aspects of treating children with JIA with intra-articular steroids, and is approached from both a medical and a physiotherapy perspective. Where appropriate, important areas for future research are identified and discussed.
青少年特发性关节炎(JIA)关节内注射类固醇的治疗干预源于对成人炎性关节病的经验,最早的报告发表于1951年。该技术随后被引入儿科风湿病学实践,尽管支持其使用的许多证据仍为轶事性的或基于开放的、非对照研究。本综述从医学和物理治疗的角度审视了与用关节内类固醇治疗JIA患儿诸多方面相关的证据。在适当的情况下,确定并讨论了未来研究的重要领域。
