Treatment options for the AS include medication, exercise, physical therapy and others. In severe cases posture correcting surgery may also be an option. The medication treatment includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin. If NSAIDs alone do not control inflammation, it may require an injection of corticosteroids directly into the affected joints to bring quick but temporary relief. An injection may be given to the sacroiliac, hip, knee joint, but it is not given in the spine.

In moderate to severe cases the treatment involves disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), such as methotrexate (Rheumatrex®). Steroid injections into the joint or tendon may be helpful in some cases. Another option includes biologics, such as HUMIRA® (adalimumab), Amjevita™ and Imraldi® (biosimilars to HUMIRA®), CIMZIA® (certolizumab pegol), Enbrel® (etanercept), Erelzi® and Benepali® (biosimilars to Enbrel®), SIMPONI® (golimumab), REMICADE® (infliximab), Inflectra® and Flixabi (biosimilars to REMICADE®), Renflexis® (infliximab-abda) and Cosentyx® (secukinumab). Some of these DMARDs may be used for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis as well as for other immune disorders, such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and others.

AbstractAnkylosing spondylitis (AS) is a form of arthritis, primarily affecting the spine. AS causes an inflammation in vertebrae and can lead to severe chronic pain and significantly decreases the quality of life. In severe cases the disease can lead to ankylosis -- new bone formation in the spine, causing the spine to fuse in a fixed, immobile position. AS can also affect joints and cause inflammation in shoulders, hips, ribs, heels and others. Sometimes the disease may involve even other organs such as eyes (known as iritis or uveitis) or lungs and heart.
