First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether two structured telemedicine visits, added between regular doctor appointments, could help people with psoriatic arthritis improve their quality of life and reduce disease impact. 101 adults with active symptoms took part. The visits focused on lifestyle changes and were delivered by nurse practitioners. The goal was to see if this approach is acceptable, feasible, and effective.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that remote check-ins help manage symptoms and improve daily life for people with psoriatic arthritis.
