Treatment guidelines for psoriatic arthritis
International Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 06/23/09

Soriano ER - Therapies for psoriatic arthritis have been borrowed from rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis. Traditional DMARDs have shown little effect and there is no evidence that any of these drugs prevented disease progression. Recently, the Group of Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis, an international group of rheumatologists, dermatologists, and methodologists developed a new set of guidelines. The main advantage of this guideline is that it takes into account all aspects of psoriatic disease, including skin, nail and axial involvement, enthesis and dactylitis.
