‘New concepts’ could rouse rheumatoid arthritis management out of the ‘doldrums’

SAN DIEGO — Rheumatoid arthritis has received less attention than other diseases in recent years, but some “new concepts” may rouse it from its current “doldrums,” said a speaker at the 2024 Congress of Clinical Rheumatology West.
“We have ended up in some doldrums in rheumatoid arthritis,” Arthur Kavanaugh, MD, a rheumatologist and professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego, told attendees. “However, there are some new concepts we are dealing with — additional ways to get additional benefits for our patients.”
