Screening for psoriatic arthritis in people with psoriasis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to find psoriatic arthritis (joint pain and swelling related to psoriasis) in people who only have psoriasis so far. Your answers to a simple questionnaire or a doctor's exam may help detect joint problems early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with psoriasis (by a dermatologist).
- You are willing to fill out a questionnaire and be examined by a doctor.
- You have never been checked by a joint specialist (rheumatologist) for psoriatic arthritis, or if you have, you now have new joint or spine symptoms that were not there before.

This study follows people with a first episode of peripheral (hand/foot/arm/leg) arthritis that seems to be psoriatic arthritis. It aims to improve understanding of early disease and may help guide more personalized care over time.
This study uses eye scans to look at tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye and a small area called the fovea, to see if they are different in people with psoriatic arthritis compared to people without it. This might help doctors understand more about psoriatic arthritis and its effects on the body.
This trial tests whether antiplatelet medicines (like aspirin and clopidogrel) can help control psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. If you have one of these skin or joint conditions and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how well advanced treatments work for people with psoriatic arthritis, and whether results differ for sex and gender. You may be eligible if your psoriatic arthritis is active and you are planning to start an advanced treatment for symptoms in the joints and surrounding areas.
This study tests a new way to screen for psoriatic arthritis (a type of joint inflammation) in people with psoriasis. It looks at a tool called PEST and aims to improve early detection.
This study looks at how inflammatory “cytokines” are expressed in people with psoriasis—both those with joint involvement and those without. It may help researchers understand what drives joint disease and guide better future monitoring or treatments.
