IRIS Clinics in Trivandrum provides specialized care for Psoriatic Arthritis, using anti-inflammatory medications and DMARDs to manage symptoms and protect joint function effectively.
Psoriatic Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory joint condition associated with psoriasis. Interestingly, joint symptoms may appear even before any skin manifestations, making early diagnosis challenging. It can affect any joint in the body, often causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. The condition is managed using anti-inflammatory medications to control symptoms and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) to prevent joint damage. With timely and tailored treatment, patients can maintain mobility and improve their quality of life.
DMARDs (Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs) are medications used to slow the progression of conditions like Psoriatic Arthritis by targeting the underlying immune response. Unlike pain relievers, DMARDs modify the course of the disease, helping prevent long-term joint damage. These drugs work by suppressing inflammation and controlling the immune system’s overactivity. At IRIS Clinic, we carefully monitor patients on DMARDs to manage side effects and ensure effective treatment, improving joint function and quality of life in the long term.
Early Diagnosis & Evaluation are crucial in managing Psoriatic Arthritis effectively. At IRIS Clinic, we use a combination of clinical assessments, imaging techniques, and lab tests to identify symptoms early, even before visible psoriasis appears. Timely detection allows for prompt treatment, reducing the risk of joint damage and improving long-term outcomes. Our specialized team works closely with patients to evaluate their symptoms, provide an accurate diagnosis, and create a personalized treatment plan for optimal care and management.
Anti-inflammatory Medications are commonly used to manage symptoms of Psoriatic Arthritis by reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation in the joints. At IRIS Clinic, we prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to help alleviate discomfort and improve mobility. These medications work by inhibiting the enzymes responsible for inflammation, providing relief from joint stiffness and pain. Regular monitoring ensures that patients receive the most effective dosage while minimizing potential side effects, contributing to a better quality of life.
