NSAID Therapy
The main treatment option for people with ankylosing spondylitis is NSAID or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory therapy. These medications are often used to alleviate inflammatory activities in the body by inhibiting cyclooxygenase or COX enzymes. As a result, the levels of prostaglandin in the body are decreased. This is important to relieve some common symptoms such as swelling or pain. Nevertheless, NSAIDs are not a feasible option for every case. Make sure to follow the instructions of your doctor for better results. [9]
