Author(s): Aseema Fateh Abdullah*

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, a common skin condition. Over the past decade, significant advances have been made in the understanding of PsA's pathophysiology and the development of targeted therapies. This article provides a comprehensive review of the current therapeutic approaches for PsA, from traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to biologics such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors and interleukin inhibitors. A case study is included to illustrate the impact of biologic therapy in controlling disease activity and improving quality of life.
