[Treatment experience with rheumatoid arthritis patients during remission]

94 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were observed for 4-5 years to evaluate the effect of basic treatment and opportunities for prolonged remission. A regimen of combined treatment has been tested which allows for psychologic status of the patient, corrects weak points in the regulatory systems, affects mechanisms of nonspecific resistance. The combined treatment administered during RA remission has resulted in complete responses (remissions) more frequently, prolonged their duration. Destructive processes in the joints still present in remission were seen to slow down.
