Main target variables were local and systemic inflammation (joint index, serum CRP), subjective status and functional capacity (MOPO questionnaire). </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Treatment consisted mainly of a combination of anthroposophical medicines of plant, mineral and animal origin, selected to meet individual needs, as well as special external applications, eurythmy therapy and in most cases physiotherapy, dietary measures and art therapy. A review of the treatment strategy during an average one-year period of observation showed all patients had experienced subjective and objective improvement in local and systemic inflammatory activity, functional capacity, their symptoms and general condition. This included psychosocial dimensions such as anxiety, depression and social activity.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">? JAM Vol. 15(3), 1998 ?</p>
