title: [Therapeutic strategies in rheumatoid arthritis].
abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common chronic inflammatory-rheumatic joint disease. If untreated, patients develop radiologically detectable progressive joint destruction. Rheumatoid arthritis has considerable socioeconomic importance, since a majority of patients are affected at employable age and can be significantly disabled over the course of the disease. Therefore, an appropriate early intervention with disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs as well as ergo- and physiotherapy plays an important role for the prognosis. In the past few years, the introduction of novel drugs has improved the treatment opportunities markedly. This progress was the basis for new treatment strategies of tight disease control with the goal of disease remission.
