Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease that is characterized principally by a polyarthritis, but can result in several neurologic complications involving both the central and peripheral nervous system. In addition, several immunotherapies used to treat RA have been associated with neurological complications. In this chapter, we review the characteristic neurological sequelae of RA as well as the possible neurological consequences of its therapeutic regimens.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune systemic inflammatory disease with still unknown cause. A robust hypothesis for the occurence of the disease is the result of an environmental exposure in a genetically susceptible individual. The risk of RA varies by ethnicity: the majority of the Caucasian populations reported a prevalence of 0.5 to 1% for this disease; higher prevalences were observed in American Indian tribes and lower ones, in countries of Africa and Asia. This regional variation in the prevalence of RA sustains the involvement of both genetic and enviromental factors in the occurence of this condition.

Reiter Syndrome

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease characterized by joint destruction. It affects 0.03% to 1.5% of the population worldwide. Women are affected 3 times more frequently than men. Its incidence peaks between the ages of 35 and 45 years; however, the age-related prevalence of the disease increases even after age 65 years. Conditions in the spondyloarthritis spectrum include ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis (Reiter syndrome), arthritis related to inflammatory bowel disease, and psoriatic arthritis.

 Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease whichinvolve multiple joints  of the body.The clinical symptoms of the Rheumatoid Arthritisresemble with Amavata described in Ayurvedic literature. In thisdisease, the vitiated Vatadosha and Ama spread all along the body and  localisein kaphasthana likejoints and producing symptoms like pain, stiffness, swelling, tendernessetc.Treatment principle recommended are to correct the status of the digestive fireof the bodyand balance of Vata in the body. In this case, a male patient of 28 years old presented with the symptoms of inabilityto walk and stand without support associated with pain, swelling and  stiffnessover multiple jointsalong with deformity of hands. Pain was assessed by Visual analogue score(VAS).The patient was admitted in IPD of the hospital andtreatedwith Ayurvedic  medicines and Panchakarma therapy for 28 days. Remarkable improvement was seen in pain, swelling and stiffness after the treatment.

Progressive Joint Damage

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease whose major feature is a destructive peripheral polyarthritis. In this condition simple analgesics may relieve pain while non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can reduce swelling and stiffness; neither however change the activity or rate of progression of the disease.1 If these drugs fail to control symptoms, if there is radiological evidence of rapid or progressive joint damage, or if the patient has serious extra-articular manifestations of RA (e.g. lung disease, vasculitis, amyloidosis), it is usual to start a drug that might modify the disease or induce remission. This article discusses disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) and how to choose between them.

Synovial Pannus

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic multifactor disease that presented with symmetrical polyarthritis more preferably in small wrist joint and ankle. Synovial pannus cause destruction and deformities in joints. The main reason of this disease in unknown, but past researchesshowed that genetically factor play important role beside environmental factors in susceptibility to this entity. Method:100 patients with rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed upon ACR 2010 criteria enrolled study. 92 healthy patents also enrolled DNA studying. of both group was extracted through DNA extraction kits by blood sampling. HLA-DRB1 typing was done by PCR-SSP method. Results: There were no significant differences in HLADRB1 *04, HLADRB1*08 and HLADRB1*11 alleles presentation between patients and healthy controls. Only there were statically significant correlation between HLA-DRB1*08 and Rheumatoid factor positive patents. (P = 0.025).
