Overview

Pharmacologic medical therapies for ankylosing spondylitis(AS) include Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker, and interleukin 17 (IL-17) inhibitors.Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease which is manifested by back pain and gradually to spinal stiffness.While treating the AS patients the primary goal is to maximize long-term health-related quality of life.

Medical Therapy

  • Medical therapy for AS is according to the guidelines proposed by [1][2][3]
    • Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS)
    • European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)
    • American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/Spondylitis Association of America (SAA)/Spondyloarthritis Research and Treatment Network (SPARTAN) collaboration 
  • Pharmacologic medical therapies for ankylosing spondylitis(AS) include Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker, analgesics, sulfasalazine,intraarticular injections and interleukin 17 (IL-17) inhibitors.
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)[4][5][6]
  • The first line treatment for all the patients who are having symptomatic ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are with Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs(NSAIDs).
  • 70 to 80 percent patients who are taking NSAIDs report substantial relief of back pain and stiffness.
  • Play a crucial role in delaying the progression of ankylosing spondylitis.
