Brief Summary

Chronic inflammatory rheumatism (CIR) is a group of inflammatory diseases that affect the joints and spine and are related to an abnormal immune response. CIR includes many different forms of arthritis that manifest as painful and swollen joints, stiffness, especially in the morning and persisting even after exercise, and limited joint mobility. CIR can also affect bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and muscles. Some may affect other organs. These symptoms can lead to a reduced quality of life, limited physical activity and progressive structural and functional deterioration of the joints.

Current treatment for CIR is aimed at reducing inflammation and relieving pain. Anti-inflammatory medications such as corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to relieve pain and inflammation. Biotherapies can also be used to modify the progression of the disease. On the other hand, regular exercise can help strengthen the muscles that support the affected joints and improve mobility. Physical therapies, such as physical and occupational therapy, can also help improve mobility and relieve pain.

Although there is no definitive cure for CIR early and appropriate treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life, as well as avoid the risk of developing complications such as lung, cardiovascular, kidney, ophthalmic, liver and other diseases.

It is in this context, in order to better understand CIR to improve the global management of patients, and to analyze the evolution of CIR over time in relation to the different treatments proposed, that the interest in creating a database of patients with CIR arises.
