Currently, researches are developing molecular imaging technology, that offers a non-invasive method for diagnosing, monitoring and guiding the treatment. It is said to produce even the most functional changes that occur inside the bones during RA.

Usually, initial therapy suffices but in resistant cases booster therapy for 1-3 years (one session every year may provide desired results)

Osteoarthritis will initially require medical treatment, but severe cases can find relief from joint replacement or stem cell therapy.
