Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that causes severe damage not only to the connective joint tissue, but also to the internal organs. It is difficult to treat, especially in advanced stages, with untimely seeking medical help, and can lead to disability. IN they carry out diagnostics using modern techniques of tomographic examination of joints and biopsy of affected tissues, which allows to recognize pathology at an early stage. The data obtained help to appoint effective complex therapy to patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Effective Medical Protocols
Unfortunately, to date, there are no methods to completely get rid of this disease. The main task - eliminate the root causes of the disease, while retaining in full the motor function, reducing pain and neutralizing the inflammatory process in the joints.
Modern arthritis treatment protocols implemented in the Israeli center. Rabin, include several components to achieve a stable remission and provide the patient with the highest possible quality of life.
- To soften connective tissue and prevent scarring, fibrinolytic enzymes are used.
- To suppress autoimmune processes, biological preparations of a new generation are prescribed: “Anti-TNF” (Tumor Necrosis Factor), “Actemra”, “MabThera”.
- To break the connection between pathologically altered cells, “Abatcept” is used.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, chondroxites, antirheumatic agents and immunosuppressants are widely used.
Among the latest achievements of Israeli doctors in the fight against rheumatoid arthritis, one can single out the implantation of the patient’s own stem cells and blood purification using extracorporeal hemosorption and lymphosorption technology. Another unique method used in Israeli clinics is injection of Orthokine therapy, which avoids surgical intervention and has high long-term results. This technique not only relieves inflammation and eliminates pain, but also helps to restore cartilage and returns lost mobility to the joints.
With the ineffectiveness of complex conservative therapy, the patient is prescribed arthroscopy or arthroplasty using minimally invasive surgical technologies.
Particular attention in Israeli clinics is given to the rehabilitation course after undergoing a treatment program. In each clinical case, a plan of physiotherapeutic procedures is individually developed, a course of ergo-, hydro-, thalassotherapy is prescribed. The combination of complex treatment for rheumatoid arthritis in Israeli centers helps to fully restore the patient's motor activity and restore his usual quality of life.
