After hemophilia patients experience joint pain, they may relieve the discomfort under medical guidance by using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as sodium diclofenac and celecoxib. Additionally, therapies such as acupuncture, massage, and infrared irradiation can be selected to help alleviate pain. Moreover, topical application of traditional Chinese herbal plasters may also be chosen to relieve pain and improve symptoms.
