Therapies for psoriatic enthesopathy. A systematic review

J Rheumatol. 2006 Jul;33(7):1435-8. Epub 2006 May 15.

Abstract

Enthesitis is defined as inflammation at sites of tendon, ligament, joint capsule, or fascia insertion sites to bone, and is a hallmark feature of psoriatic arthritis. Several outcome measures have been developed to assess enthesitis, but none have been validated in psoriatic arthritis. In this evidence-based review, we assess the limited data on treatments for enthesitis and make recommendations for further studies in psoriatic enthesitis.
