An observational study in Psoriatic Arthritis, sponsored by Assiut University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-31.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Observational
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory musculoskeletal disorder that causes joint pain, stiffness, skin lesions, and functional disability, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) provide essential insights into the impact of disease from the patient's perspective. The Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease-12 (PsAID-12) questionnaire is a validated tool designed to evaluate 12 physical and psychological aspects of disease burden.
The main purpose of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate disease impact using the Arabic version of the PsAID-12 questionnaire and to investigate how disease impact correlates with clinical disease activity measured by the Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) score in adult patients with PsA.
Participants will undergo routine clinical and rheumatological evaluations, including joint examinations (tender and swollen joint counts), laboratory tests (complete blood count, inflammatory markers such as ESR and CRP, liver and kidney function tests, and lipid profile), and plain radiography of affected joints (hands, feet, and sacroiliac joints). Patients will also complete the Arabic PsAID-12 questionnaire and patient global and pain assessments. All assessments will take place during a single evaluation visit at Assiut University Hospital.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Adult patients aged 18 years or older diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis fulfilling the CASPAR (Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis) criteria who are attending the inpatient or outpatient clinics of the Rheumatology, Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine Department at Assiut University Hospital. Patients undergo evaluation for disease impact using the Arabic 12-item Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease (PsAID-12) questionnaire and assessment of disease activity via the Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) score.
Disease Impact Score Assessed by the Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease (PsAID-12) Questionnaire
The Arabic version of the Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease 12-item (PsAID-12) questionnaire is used to evaluate patient-reported disease impact. It assesses 12 domains: pain, fatigue, skin problems, work and leisure activities, functional capacity, discomfort, sleep disturbance, coping, anxiety/fear, embarrassment/shame, social participation, and depression. Each domain is scored on a numerical rating scale from 0 to 10, weighted, and aggregated into a total score ranging from 0 (no impact/best status) to 10 (extreme impact/worst status). Higher total scores indicate greater negative disease impact.
