Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is often frustrating for patient and physician alike because of its chronic nature and our lack of knowledge about precise cause. It can be confused by the vast array of anti-inflammatory drugs now available, with new agents being added all the time. We present here an outline for a systematic treatment program that must be tailored to each patient's needs. It emphasizes a broad approach on the part of the physician and indicates that drugs comprise only one part of treatment. We review the drugs currently used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and include discussion of those newer antiinflammatory agents that should be available shortly. A rational scheme for the use of these drugs is proposed.
类风湿性关节炎的治疗常常让患者和医生都感到沮丧,这是由于其慢性本质以及我们对确切病因缺乏了解。如今有大量的抗炎药物可供使用,而且新的药物还在不断增加,这可能会造成混淆。我们在此呈现一个系统性治疗方案的概要,该方案必须根据每个患者的需求进行调整。它强调医生应采取广泛的治疗方法,并指出药物只是治疗的一部分。我们回顾了目前用于治疗类风湿性关节炎的药物,并讨论了那些很快就会上市的新型抗炎药物。还提出了一个使用这些药物的合理方案。
