Popis: From the point of view of the rheumatologist, the treatment of pain should be adjusted individually in accordance with medical principles based on the facts related to the relevant pathologies. This treatment includes conservative (medicinal and non-medicinal), interventional and surgical methods. The treatment does not just depend on the diagnosis, but also on the particular functional disability based on the ICF (International Classification of Functioning) and the level of polymorbidity. As rheumatology patients often have comorbidity, the choice of painkillers (NSAIDs, analgesics, opioids etc), immunosuppressants and physical therapy methods (physiotherapy, ergotherapy, etc) may be limited.
