Rheumatoid arthritis treatment abroad, in countries such as Israel, Germany, and Switzerland, is carried out using the latest techniques and has an effectiveness of about 90%.
Diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis abroad
Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis abroad is primarily an accurate diagnosis, which makes it possible to detect the disease at an early stage.
Foreign experts consider rheumatoid arthritis testing to be the main and most important method of detecting this disease. It is a venous blood test that accurately identifies various autoimmune diseases and makes a correct diagnosis for rheumatoid arthritis.
To detect this disease, they are also prescribed:
- Ultrasound scan;
- magnetic resonance imaging;
- tomographic examination;
- diagnostic biopsy of tissues of altered joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis treatment abroad
Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis abroad is aimed at relieving joint inflammation and restoring their functions.
First of all, patients are prescribed drug therapy — immunosuppressants, anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid hormones, and special enzymes. This helps to reduce pain, improve the condition of joints, and eliminate scar tissue.
A relatively new treatment method that gives good results is extracorporeal hemosorption, cleansing the blood of excess antibodies using a special device.
Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis abroad also includes the possibility of introducing stem cells into the blood. This method of therapy allows you to renew and restore the connective tissue of the joints. For the same purpose, foreign experts use laser exposure.
Cryotherapy, a dosed cooling of the joints that slows down autoimmune processes, also helps to alleviate the patient's condition.
The most cardinal method of treatment is endoprosthetics, replacement of the damaged joint with an artificial one. It is used when other methods of therapy do not help.
