The most common treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) include NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) for pain and inflammation, corticosteroids for inflammation and immune system suppression, analgesics for pain management, biological DMARDs (Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs) to slow disease progression, and TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) receptor antagonists, a subset of biological DMARDs, to reduce inflammation and halt disease progression.
