EULAR Pain Management Guidelines

The EULAR Pain Management Guidelines recommend a personalized approach for people with arthritis and rheumatic diseases. They emphasize non-drug treatments like physical therapy, exercise, and weight management to reduce pain. Medications, such as pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs, are used carefully, considering potential benefits and risks. The guidelines also highlight the importance of addressing psychological factors and promoting self-management strategies. Overall, the focus is on combining different methods tailored to each person’s needs, aiming to improve function and quality of life while minimizing side effects.
