Abstract

[Extract] Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common inflammatory rheumatic disease, and has a prevalence of about 1% [1]. The total incidence of this disease is low but its burden is significant. Untreated, rheumatoid arthritis usually leads to join destruction, disability and increased mortality. Long-term management of patients is required, based not only on drug treatment, but also on non-pharmacological approaches such as physiotherapy and psychosocial support.
