How long does psoriatic arthritis last?

Psoriatic arthritis is a relatively rare disease, mainly an inflammatory joint disease related to psoriasis. The occurrence of this disease is related to genetic factors and infectious factors. If a patient is infected with the psoriasis virus, the risk of developing psoriatic arthritis will increase. Endocrine dysfunction can also affect its occurrence. Once psoriatic arthritis occurs, the patient's daily life will be greatly troubled. If the symptoms such as joint pain, swelling, and rash are more severe, multiple methods should be used for treatment.

Three ways to treat psoriatic arthritis quickly:

1. Traditional treatment

This treatment method is also the main method for treating psoriatic arthritis at present. Patients can take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and traditional anti-rheumatic drugs. These two drugs can play an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and detumescent role in time, which helps to regulate the condition. For example, patients choose traditional anti-rheumatic drugs such as cyclosporine, leflunomide, and methotrexate to relieve skin damage and joint symptoms in patients with psoriasis. However, this type of drug has side effects on the human body, especially the short-term damage to the liver is relatively large.

2. Biologics

It is one of the drug manifestations of the development of modern medical technology. With the in-depth study of psoriatic arthritis, doctors have found that lymphocyte infiltration is closely related to a large number of cytokine reactions. Taking biological agents can inhibit related reactions and better improve the patient's joints, skin and other symptoms, thereby achieving the corresponding therapeutic effect.

3. Surgical treatment

Mainly for patients with severe joint mutations, such as deformity and dysfunction, joint replacement and arthroplasty can be performed directly. Through two operations, the damaged joints are replaced in time, further ensuring people's activities.

Psoriatic arthritis is a stubborn disease. With the continuous development of medical technology, there are more and more methods to treat stubborn diseases such as psoriasis. Generally speaking, as long as it is discovered early and treated in time, it can be cured in 3 to 6 months.
