Psoriatic Arthritis
What is psoriatic arthritis?
Psoriatic arthritis (say "sor-ee-AT-ik ar-THRY-tus") is a type of arthritis that sometimes occurs in people who have a skin problem called psoriasis. The arthritis causes joints to become swollen, tender, and painful.
Psoriatic arthritis is an autoimmune disease. That means the body's own defense (immune) system attacks the joints. An infection or a serious joint injury may trigger the arthritis in people who have psoriasis.
Clinical Trials for Psoriatic Arthritis
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriasis is a red-patchy skin problem, an inflammatory condition, and is sometimes linked with the development of arthritis, called psoriatic arthritsis (PsA).
