What is Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis? – Causes, Types Therapies and Treatment

Abstract

The most frequent kind of arthritis in children under the age of 16 is juvenile idiopathic arthritis, previously known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Joint inflammation, edema, and stiffness are all symptoms of JIA. Some children may only have symptoms for a few months, while others may have them for years.

Introduction

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis may have major consequences, including growth issues, joint damage, and ocular irritation. Controlling pain and inflammation, enhancing function, and avoiding damage are the main goals of treatment. JIA is somewhat more frequent in women than in men. It is more frequent in children under the age of six or teens. JIA is divided into many categories, each with its own set of symptoms. Knowing which kind you have might help you determine how likely you are to grow out of JIA. It is maybe difficult to manage in some individuals, but in the vast majority of instances, medication will suffice. If you develop arthritis as a side effect of another illness, it’s usually treated similarly to JIA.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Causes

The actual causes of juvenile arthritis, however, remain uncertain. JRA, on the other hand, is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system assaults its cells and tissues. It may be triggered by a variety of factors.

The three energies or doshas – Vata, Kapha, and Pitta – are responsible for an individual’s health in Ayurveda. Joint problems are caused by aggravated Vata and Kapha doshas. However, with Amavata, the buildup of ama (toxin) in the body produces joint discomfort and inflammation in addition to Vata aggravation.
A viral or bacterial infection might be a trigger in the environment.
Vata aggravation and ama development are caused by a variety of factors such as lifestyle and poor dietary habits.
Mutations in the immune system lead it to function improperly and target its cells.

Natural therapies for the pain of Juvenile Arthritis (include herbs, spices, and vitamins)

Turmeric: It is a yellow powder derived from a similar flowering plant that has anti-inflammatory qualities. Turmeric and curcumin supplements may be beneficial in relieving the pain of a kid with Juvenile Arthritis.
Green Tea: Green tea has been used medicinally for ages to decrease inflammation in the body.
Cinnamon: It includes cinnamaldehyde and cinnamic acid, which are antioxidants that aim to minimize cell destruction caused by free radicals. When combined with other anti-inflammatory foods and spices, it may help offer a cumulative anti-inflammatory effect as part of natural therapy for Juvenile Arthritis.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Types

Undifferentiated, polyarthritis, juvenile psoriatic arthritis, oligoarthritis, and systemic arthritis are the six forms of JIA.

Exercise & Juvenile Arthritis

Muscle strength and endurance may be reduced in children with Juvenile Arthritis. They may also have a reduction in aerobic and anaerobic capability. During physical exertion, a kid with Juvenile Arthritis may fatigue sooner than their counterparts who do not have arthritis. Studies have demonstrated that exercise training may improve these disorders by increasing aerobic and anaerobic capacity, as well as increasing muscular strength and endurance via resistance training.
