Abstract

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.
