Psoriatic arthritis has no known cure. Controlling inflammation in your affected joints to prevent joint pain and disability, as well as controlling skin involvement, are the main goals of treatment. Prescription pharmaceuticals known as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs are one of the most prevalent therapies (DMARDs).
