Abstract
The quality of life of patients with rheumatoid arthritis includes health, social ties, living conditions, professional activity, treatment effectiveness, access to modern medical care, pharmaceutical provision of medicines of all clinical-pharmacological, nomenclature-legal and classification-legal groups. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common chronic autoimmune diseases. It causes disability and deterioration of the quality of life of millions of patients in the world. The article is devoted to the analysis of modern approaches to the treatment and rehabilitation of patients using hirudotherapy in combination with traditional pharmacotherapy. The results of studies on the effectiveness of the use of medical leeches, which helps reduce pain, swelling, improve microcirculation and reduce the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids, are presented. Special attention is paid to the potential of artificial intelligence in rheumatology: from early diagnosis and monitoring to personalized selection of therapy and rehabilitation measures. The results indicate the feasibility of integrating hirudotherapy and digital artificial intelligence technologies in the complex treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
