[Progress in therapy of spondylarthritis].
An update of the wide spectrum of therapeutic measures in the spondarthritides is presented with the example of ankylosing spondylitis. Most important is a life style adjusted to the disease with daily exercises and complementary physiotherapy. The most significant measures of physiotherapy, drug treatment, operation, and radiotherapy are discussed. Preliminary results indicate a long-term effect of sulfasalazine in ankylosing spondylitis. Peculiarities in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis and of entheropathic arthritides are pointed out.
