maintenance therapy

Maintenance therapy refers to ongoing treatment aimed at preventing the recurrence of a medical condition after it has been stabilized or successfully treated. This therapy typically involves medications, lifestyle changes, or other interventions tailored to the patient’s needs. The goal is to maintain health, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life over the long term. For example, a person with asthma may use inhalers regularly even when feeling fine, to keep symptoms under control and avoid flare-ups. Overall, maintenance therapy is about sustaining well-being and preventing setbacks.
