New ultrasound technique could spot hidden tendon damage in psoriatic arthritis
NCT ID NCT07188688
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a special ultrasound technique called shear-wave elastography to see if it can better detect tendon inflammation (enthesitis) in people with psoriatic arthritis. Researchers will compare this method with standard ultrasound and also look at how it relates to a protein called SIRT2 and disease activity. The goal is to improve diagnosis and monitoring of this condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Device (LOGIQ P10)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a better, non-invasive way to detect tendon inflammation in psoriatic arthritis, potentially improving diagnosis and monitoring.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 57 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The technique is still experimental and not yet proven to be better than standard methods.
