Updates in Psoriatic Arthritis
Main Article Content
Abstract
Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a multifaceted autoimmune disorder characterized by the intersection of psoriasis and arthritis. Recent advancements in PsA management have reshaped the landscape of treatment, providing hope for patients with previously limited therapeutic options. Emerging biologic therapies and Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors have revolutionized PsA care, offering targeted relief and disease progression slowdown. Personalized medicine has emerged as a key approach, tailoring treatments to individual patient profiles. Early diagnosis remains pivotal, and diagnostic criteria have enhanced accuracy. A holistic approach to care, encompassing therapies, lifestyle modifications, psychosocial support, and comorbidity management, has become integral. Continued research explores novel therapeutic targets, biomarkers for personalized treatment, and long-term safety and efficacy. These advancements underpin the evolving PsA landscape, promoting a better quality of life and improved long-term outcomes for those affected.
