In the acute phase, the main measures are to relieve pain and prevent deformity. Aspirin is not very effective. The analgesic effect of the better choice is primarily phenylbutazone and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The initial dose of phenylbutazone is 400 mg per day, taken four times, with a maintenance dose of 100 to 200 mg per day. Its drawback is a high incidence of side effects. The dose of indomethacin is 100 mg, taken four times, with an additional 50 mg added before bedtime for the best effect. Its drawback is also side effects. Other new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have the same efficacy.
