    Rheumatoid arthritis treatment involves more than just drugs. It should also include patient education from rheumatologists or nurses to improve knowledge of managing pain and anxiety from the disease. Non-drug therapies like physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and local injections or surgery when needed can help treat active joint inflammation or irreversible joint damage. Diet modifications may also be part of rheumatoid arthritis treatment.

    Rheumatoid arthritis care is not limited to the prescription of Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs
    (DMARDs) or symptomatic drugs. It should also include:

    Patient education and counselling performed by the rheumatologist, a rheumatology nurse or


    physiotherapists (see intermediate and advanced knowledge) in order to improve patient
    knowledge and skills to face the disease. It could include learning of self-administered
    techniques to better cope with pain and anxiety related to the disease.

    Local therapies when needed, mainly intra articular injections in case of active synovitis or
    surgery (Fontaine 2014) when a joint is severely and irreversibly damaged (see intermediate
    knowledge).

    Non-drug therapies which includes physiotherapy, rehabilitation occupational therapy (see


    intermediate knowledge).

    Diets (see advanced knowledge).
