Research Notes on Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a form of arthritic joint disease associated with the chronic skin scaling and fingernail changes seen in psoriasis. Like other forms of arthritis, PsA causes pain, stiffness and swelling in and around the joints. The degree of joint pain ranges from mild to severe, and the signs and symptoms often change as the disease progresses.1
Fast Facts:
- About 10-15% of people with psoriasis eventually develop psoriatic arthritis.2
- The age of onset is typically between the ages of 30 to 50, but it can also affect children.2
- There is no cure for psoriatic arthritis, however, there are treatments that can reduce pain, keep joints working properly, and possibly prevent further damage.1
