Educational Materials & Resources for Osteoarthritis Patients
Arthritis is a general term used to describe a range of conditions affecting the joints, the areas where two or more bones meet. It is characterized by symptoms such as pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion in the affected joints. There are many types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being among the most common. While arthritis is more commonly seen in older adults, it can affect people of all ages, including children. Treatment for arthritis often involves medication, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and in severe cases, surgical intervention, all aimed at managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

Psoriasis and Joint Pain: New Insights on Psoriatic Arthritis from Groundbreaking Study
Learn about a major international study led by Oxford University and University College Dublin that tracks nearly 3,000 patients to understand who might develop Psoriatic Arthritis (PSA). This cutting-edge research is part of the HIPPOCRATES project, which aims to predict and prevent arthritis through early detection and lifestyle interventions like exercise and stress management.
Over the next three years, researchers will gather data from over 25,000 psoriasis patients across 12 European countries, using innovative methods such as online questionnaires and home-based blood tests. The goal? To change how we approach arthritis prevention, improve quality of life, and make life with psoriasis more manageable.
