A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate disease activity and treatment response in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) using Power Doppler ultrasonography (PDUS). By employing this non-invasive imaging technology, the study will investigate various clinical features of PsA, including skin, nail, and joint involvement. Participants will be monitored for their compliance with treatment plans and scheduled visits, while their disease activity and potential bone destruction will be assessed based on ultrasonography findings.
