METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61B5/00 A61B8/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to rheumatology, and can be used to predict the effectiveness of treating rheumatoid arthritis. Determine the optical density of the tissues of the knee joint in the bag of lateral recess of the knee joint. Determine the amplitude of pulse oscillations with the navigation of ultrasonography. When the optical density is increased to 0.88 and above, and when the pulse oscillation amplitude is reduced to 5.59 mm and lower after medical treatment and physiotherapy with an interval of 10 days, treatment is considered effective. With an optical density below 0.88 and the pulse oscillations amplitude of more than 5.59 mm, treatment is considered ineffective.

EFFECT: method allows to increase the effectiveness of treatment of rheumatoid arthritis by evaluating the most significant indicators.
