Good news for those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, sport, made in a certain way may reduce the use of anti inflammatory drugs. Miguel Sousa and colleagues, the Portuguese Institute of Rheumatology in Lisbon presented at the annual meeting of the European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) their program those suffering from arthritis: exercises for 50-60 minutes three times a week, including a moderate aerobic activity and strength and stamina. The study suggests that, after three months of training, patients improved in the third parameter that indicates the level of physical function. And again, 62% could reduce the daily doses of cortisone drugs, 32% could stop taking Fans (NSAIDs), 28% earned in high spirits and 48% felt less anxious. "When the joints are stiff and sore, admits Sousa-exercise activity may appear to the patient as anything but desirable. But - he added - our study dimostra che un esercizio fisico aerobico regolare e controllato può rivelarsi estremamente benefico dal punto di vista sia fisico sia mentale. Risultato: una migliore qualità della vita». Secondo l'esperto, «la sfida per i medici è quella di riuscire a motivare il paziente e a rassicurarlo»: la fatica iniziale sarà ripagata.
