Can a questionnaire capture the real burden of psoriatic arthritis?
NCT ID NCT07793773
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Assiut University are studying how psoriatic arthritis affects patients' daily lives and whether that impact matches clinical signs of disease activity. Adults with psoriatic arthritis will complete the Arabic version of the PsAID-12 questionnaire, which covers pain, fatigue, skin problems, work, sleep, mood, and social participation. They will also undergo joint exams, lab tests, and X-rays during a single visit. The study aims to see if patient-reported impact aligns with standard disease activity scores.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the Arabic PsAID-12 questionnaire proves reliable, doctors could use it to better capture how psoriatic arthritis affects daily life and tailor care to what matters most to patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center observational study with 80 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The questionnaire may not fully match clinical measures of disease activity.
