Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, connective-tissue disease that has well-defined clinical and laboratory characteristics. The management of rheumatoid arthritis requires an aggressive multidisciplinary treatment combining both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic measures. Using this approach, most patients with rheumatoid arthritis can maintain their functional capacity while having their pain and suffering relieved.
