Research Notes on Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatments
Treatment for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is based on the extent of the condition and expectation for the course of the disease. A doctor will also consider your child's overall health, medical history, and tolerance for specific medications, procedures, and therapies when deciding on treatment options. Treatment for JRA may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic medications, corticosteroids, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and regular eye exams.1
Fast Facts:
