What are the treatments for undifferentiated connective tissue disease?

Patient's question:

My dad said he has been feeling weak lately, with some pain in his back bones and a bit of lower back pain. He's usually in good health. Then I took him to the hospital, and the doctor said he had a disease. What are the treatments for undifferentiated connective tissue disease?

Doctor's answer:

Undifferentiated connective tissue disease refers to a condition that exhibits two types of rheumatic clinical manifestations, with some abnormalities in antibody tests related to blood tests, but it has not yet been fully defined as a specific type of rheumatic disease. For the treatment of this disease, the main goal is to prevent the progression of the disease into a specific rheumatic condition and stabilize the patient's prognosis. We can consider using relatively less effective immunosuppressants, which can be used to treat this disease.
