"IRIS Clinics in Trivandrum offers expert care in Pediatric Rheumatology, providing accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans for children with autoimmune and musculoskeletal conditions to ensure optimal health and well-being."
Pediatric Rheumatology focuses on diagnosing and treating joint pain and autoimmune disorders in children. While many cases of joint pain in childhood are benign, early detection of significant causes is crucial to prevent long-term deformities and complications. Unlike adults, children with arthritis experience growth and developmental issues, requiring specialized assessment and management. This subspecialty, gaining recognition in India, emphasizes early intervention and aggressive treatment to improve long-term outcomes and reduce reliance on multiple medications.
DMARDs are essential medications used to slow the progression of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases in children. By targeting the underlying causes of inflammation, they help reduce pain, swelling, and joint damage. Early use of DMARDs can improve long-term outcomes, preserve joint function, and minimize the risk of deformities.
Biological therapy involves targeted treatments that focus on specific components of the immune system causing inflammation in autoimmune disorders. In pediatric patients with severe arthritis, biologicals such as TNF inhibitors or IL-6 blockers can significantly reduce symptoms and prevent joint damage. These therapies provide an effective option for children not responding to traditional medications.
Effective pain management is crucial in pediatric rheumatology to improve a child’s quality of life. This includes using pain relievers, NSAIDs, and localized therapies to control discomfort. Managing pain helps children remain active, participate in therapy, and maintain daily routines. Proper pain control also prevents long-term physical and emotional effects of chronic pain.
