How much does the treatment for ankylosing spondylitis cost?

The treatment costs for ankylosing spondylitis generally range from 500 to 1000 yuan per month. However, due to differences in regions and hospital levels, the charging standards may vary. The following are the main treatment methods:

1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: Commonly used drugs include ibuprofen sustained-release tablets and diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets. They can relieve pain and, to a certain extent, improve joint stiffness.

2. Biological agents: Such as adalimumab injection and secukinumab injection, they can inhibit inflammatory reactions and thereby control the disease.

3. Glucocorticoid drugs: If the patient's symptoms are severe, drugs such as prednisone acetate tablets and dexamethasone tablets can be prescribed by a doctor to achieve anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

Patients can also seek auxiliary treatment at a formal hospital through infrared heat therapy and microwave therapy. These treatments can promote local blood circulation and aid in disease recovery.

If the patient's condition is severe, causing significant discomfort and affecting normal life and work, total hip arthroplasty may be considered to facilitate disease recovery. In addition, regular follow-up visits to the hospital are necessary to monitor the patient's recovery.

It is important to rest adequately, avoid overexertion, and maintain a healthy diet, including plenty of nutrient-rich foods and fewer spicy, greasy foods. In case of any significant discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to avoid further complications.
