Priority 9 from the Psoriatic Arthritis PSP
| UNCERTAINTY: Why do treatments stop working well against psoriatic arthritis, and when they lose effectiveness, what's the best way to regain control of psoriatic arthritis? (JLA PSP Priority 9) | |
|---|---|
| Overall ranking | 9 |
| JLA question ID | 0108/9 |
| Explanatory note | This question aims to generate evidence to understand why drug based treatments that have been working well stop working for some people with psoriatic arthritis. This is often referred to as 'treatment failure'. Some people with psoriatic arthritis can experience 'treatment failure' multiple times. Also, if this happens, what treatments should be offered to regain control of their psoriatic arthritis symptoms as quickly as possible? Should the ordering of treatments be based upon specific patient characteristics? |
