The aim of this short review is to summarize our experience with chronotherapy, especially with regard to chronobiology of the two most common rheumatological diseases diagnosed in clinical practice. These include rheumatoid arthritis as an inflammatory disease and deforming osteoarthrosis as a noninflammatory arthropathy. Special emphasis is given to systemic and local therapy of these diseases.

Keywords: Key words: chronotherapy, chronobiology, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthrosis.
