Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms, Signs, Causes and Treatments

Is there any cure for rheumatoid arthritis?

Rheumatoid arthritis treatment

Similar to other forms of chronic disease, rheumatoid arthritis does not have a single risk factor, its cause has not been clearly established, and a cure has not been provided yet. There are many different trials using targeted therapies for rheumatoid arthritis, but one of the major obstacles to finding an everlasting cure is that we don’t know the entire mechanism of disease.

However, it is possible to prevent rheumatoid arthritis, treat its symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease. We do that by detecting rheumatoid arthritis early in the course of the disease, controlling environmental factors that contribute to the progression of the disease, and using medications to reduce the rate of immune reactions against the joint tissue. Rheumatoid arthritis patients may also require a psychological assessment to cope with the diagnosis and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression that may trigger acute flare-up episodes.
