A program for the management of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis should permit the child an optimal developmental experience despite the persistence of potentially crippling inflammatory disease. Drugs are useful, although no more than palliative, and all are significantly toxic. Physical measures should be directed toward the improvement of joint alignment and mobility and the restoration of muscular strength. The emotional, social and educational needs of a child with such a chronic disability deserve the most thoughtful attention.
青少年类风湿性关节炎的管理方案应使患儿在潜在致残性炎症疾病持续存在的情况下仍能获得最佳的发育体验。药物虽有帮助，但只是缓解症状，且都有明显的毒性。物理治疗措施应旨在改善关节对线和活动度以及恢复肌肉力量。患有这种慢性残疾的儿童在情感、社交和教育方面的需求值得给予最周到的关注。
