(Health-NewsWire.Net, July 06, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Psoriatic arthritis is a condition that affects 30 percent of individuals with psoriasis. It is characterized by a red, scaly, and painful rash and often results in pain, inflammation, and joint damage. There are several remedies that are ideal for individuals suffering from the condition.
The treat-to-target strategy is believed to be effective for psoriatic arthritis. This strategy is considered an aggressive treatment, and is designed to not just address the symptoms of the condition, but also to provide positive results.
The American College of Rheumatology presented a study that revealed the "treat to target" remedy, which is considered a strict and aggressive protocol, is used to help sufferers have better control of the disease than those who merely received the standard care.
In previous studies, it was found that this method has led to better outcomes not just among those who suffer from psoriatic arthritis, but also other types of inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Laura C. Coates, M.D., lecturer and study author from the University of Leeds, states that the study was the first to evaluate the treatment-to-target strategy among individuals with psoriatic arthritis.
There were 206 sufferers of psoriatic arthritis symptoms in the study. These individuals had been suffering from the condition for less than 2 years and received disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. There were those who received the treat-to-target (T2T) therapy and others were given pharmaceutical drugs. The researchers also evaluated the subjects for swollen joints and tender spots, or whether or not the skin psoriasis was active.
After 48 weeks, it was found that the T2T group was nearly twice as likely to have experienced an improvement in symptoms by 20 percent. They were also around 2.5 times more likely to experience a 50 to 70 percent improvement in the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis compared to those who received standard care.
The study demonstrated that the use of the therapy can enhance clinical outcomes in individuals suffering from psoriatic arthritis. There are several benefits identified in the use of the T2T approach. One is that it worked among individuals with different aspects of psoriatic arthritis.
Today, individuals who suffer from conditions related to inflammation are resorting to various options to improve their overall condition. There are those who use pain relief drugs, while others turn to natural alternatives such as curcumin supplements.
Curcumin is a powerful phytochemical that can be found in the ancient, medicinal spice called turmeric. It is believed to have strong healing properties that can significantly help individuals who suffer from arthritic conditions (http://amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-BioPerine-Extract-Vegetarian/dp/B00VSVKJ8I).
