Your Guide to Understanding Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a condition where our body's immune system mistakenly targets healthy cells, often appearing alongside psoriasis. Beyond skin symptoms, it can impact our joints, internal organs, and even our eyes.

Navigating life with PsA is a unique journey for everyone. Whether you're new to the diagnosis or have been managing it for some time, having the right information and support is invaluable. Dive into our site for insights on PsA, from understanding the diagnosis to exploring treatments.

Psoriasis and Joint Pain: New Insights on Psoriatic Arthritis from Groundbreaking Study

October 21, 20241 min read

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.
