ABSTRACT
The discovery of a common language of communication between the nervous and immune system is considered one of the greatest discoveries of modern biology. The discovery that an imbalance in the level of cytokines secreted by cells that are involved in inflammation can cause symptoms of disease throws a new light on the genesis of chronic inflammation.
In this publication we decided to analyze the possibility to influence the autonomic nervous system and the potential role of such an approach in the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis.
