Summary
The aims of management in seronegative spondiloarthritides are to control pain and inflammation, maintain optimal mobility of spine and peripheral joints, restoration and preservation of functional ability, prevent contractures and deformities. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the basis of drug treatment. Numerous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to reduce pain and inflammation. Apart from non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, in order to control the pain pure analgesics and weak opioids are the most often used drugs. In this paper is discussed use of these drugs in patients with seronegative spondyloarthritides.
Sažetak
Cilj liječenja seronegativnih spondiloartritisa je suzbijanje boli i upale, postizanje i održavanje optimalne pokretljivosti kralježnice i zglobova, održavanje funkcije i spriječavanje razvoja kontraktura i deformacija. Nesteroidni antireumatici osnova su medikamentne terapije. Brojni nesteroidni antireumatici su djelotvorni u smanjenju boli i upale. Uz nesteroidne antireumatike, u liječenju boli najčešće se koriste čisti analgetici i slabi opioidi. U radu je razmotrena racionalna uporaba tih lijekova u bolesnika sa seronegativnim spondiloartritisima.
