• #1 Psoriatic Arthritis: Development, Detection and Prevention: A Scoping Review

  https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/12/11/3850

  Psoriatic arthritis is a heterogenous chronic inflammatory disease that develops over time in some patients with psoriasis. […] Therefore, screening for risk factors and the early signs of arthritis is highly important and recommended. […] Early intervention is based on the assumption that it is possible to prevent or delay psoriatic arthritis if systemic treatment for psoriasis can be administered early enough. […] The early intervention hypothesis implies that psoriatic arthritis development could be delayed or even prevented if pharmacological intervention is applied at an early window of opportunity. […] Early systemic treatment may have a significant positive impact on the long-term outcomes of psoriasis by delaying or preventing joint involvement. […] A treat-to-target strategy for preventing PsA development is worth further study.

• #2 Prevention of Psoriatic Arthritis: The Need for Prospective Studies – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38796274/

  Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a systemic chronic inflammatory disease that develops in up to 30% of patients with psoriasis. Mixed data variably support the potential ability to „prevent” and/or delay PsA through use of systemic therapies in psoriasis patients. […] Thus, the authors believe prospective observational and interventional studies are crucial to understanding our ability to truly modify the transition from psoriasis to psoriatic arthritis and delay or prevent PsA onset.

• #3 Psoriatic arthritis prevention: Tips and management

  https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/326883

  Psoriatic arthritis causes joint pain and inflammation, usually in people who already have psoriasis. It is impossible to predict who will get psoriatic arthritis, however, and there is no surefire strategy for preventing it. […] Preventive strategies for psoriasis focus on identifying triggers and treating symptoms early. Doing so may prevent psoriasis from transitioning to psoriatic arthritis. […] There is currently no way to prevent psoriatic arthritis. Doctors do not know how to prevent psoriatic arthritis. Currently, no treatment can guarantee that a person with psoriasis will not develop this form of arthritis. […] More research could, one day, answer these questions. For now, controlling the symptoms of psoriasis before it progresses into arthritis may help reduce the severity of both diseases.

  Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a painful joint condition that complicates the relapsing chronic skin disease psoriasis. It is recommended that all psoriasis patients be evaluated at least once a year to detect the earliest signs of PsA. […] Early assessment might enable the patient to take preventive action against the deterioration of joint structure and function. […] The presence of psoriasis is by far the highest risk factor for PsA, though in a few people the arthritis precedes the skin condition. […] A family history of PsA in first-degree relatives such as parents or siblings increases the risk of PsA in individuals with psoriasis. […] Patients with psoriasis should probably take care not to engage in activities which could cause joint trauma, such as carpentry. […] People with psoriasis should adopt as many of the following tips as possible to avoid the development of joint damage due to PsA. […] Going in for testing at least once a year so that early signs and symptoms can be identified early and PsA progression may be slowed. This is crucial because the condition can sometimes worsen very quickly and very seriously, causing extensive joint damage either spontaneously or after an injury.

  Are There Ways to Prevent Psoriatic Arthritis? […] Various medications can cause psoriasis to worsen. Try to avoid these medications to minimize flare-ups. Lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid) and withdrawal from systemic corticosteroids (a steroid treatment that affects the whole body) both are well known to cause flare-ups. Beta-blockers, antimalarial drugs, and NSAIDs may also cause flare-ups. […] Additional preventative steps for psoriasis flare-ups include the following: […] Avoiding environmental factors that trigger psoriasis, such as smoking, sun exposure, and stress, may help prevent or minimize flare-ups of psoriasis. Sun exposure may help in many cases of psoriasis and aggravate it in others. […] Alcohol is considered a risk factor for psoriasis in young to middle-aged men.

  Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a painful joint condition that complicates the relapsing chronic skin disease psoriasis. It is recommended that all psoriasis patients be evaluated at least once a year to detect the earliest signs of PsA. […] Early assessment might enable the patient to take preventive action against the deterioration of joint structure and function. […] The presence of psoriasis is by far the highest risk factor for PsA, though in a few people the arthritis precedes the skin condition. […] A family history of PsA in first-degree relatives such as parents or siblings increases the risk of PsA in individuals with psoriasis. […] Patients with psoriasis should probably take care not to engage in activities which could cause joint trauma, such as carpentry. […] People with psoriasis should adopt as many of the following tips as possible to avoid the development of joint damage due to PsA. […] Going in for testing at least once a year so that early signs and symptoms can be identified early and PsA progression may be slowed. This is crucial because the condition can sometimes worsen very quickly and very seriously, causing extensive joint damage either spontaneously or after an injury.

[…] Joint damage cannot be reversed, so we do all we can to prevent additional damage. […] One of the most important things is in people who are overweight or obese is weight loss. Losing 10% of the body weight in people who are overweight or obese is like adding a new treatment. Weight loss increases response to medications. […] As we continue treatment, our goal is for patients to experience long-term remission.
