Rehabilitation, as an adjunct to pharmacological and surgical therapies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), aims to minimize the consequences of the disease. For a systematic assessment of the consequences of disease, an appropriate definition and evaluation of the goals of therapy and interventions, and an active partnership with the patient, a structured approach to rehabilitation management is needed.Despite widespread positive clinical experience with rehabilitative interventions, the scientific evidence of their effectiveness is, in general, scanty, owing to a lack of studies with sufficient methodological quality. Further well-designed clinical studies are warranted with respect to several interventions where evidence is falling short.
康复作为类风湿性关节炎(RA)患者药物和手术治疗的辅助手段,旨在将疾病的后果降至最低。为了系统评估疾病的后果、对治疗和干预目标进行恰当的定义和评估,以及与患者建立积极的合作关系,需要一种结构化的康复管理方法。尽管康复干预在临床上有广泛的积极经验,但由于缺乏方法学质量足够高的研究,其有效性的科学证据总体上较少。对于一些证据不足的干预措施,有必要开展进一步精心设计的临床研究。
