M. Elaine Husni, MD, MPH, spoke with Healio about treatment and management options in psoriatic arthritis, including lifestyle changes.

“We now have really embraced the concept of wellness strategies,” said Husni, vice chair of rheumatology and director of the Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Center and staff physician in the Orthopedic and Rheumatologic Institute at Cleveland Clinic, and assistant professor at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University. “Meaning, we understand now that chronic diseases also need to have a holistic approach where we’re looking at patient lifestyle.”

In this video, she also discussed:

  • recent approvals in PsA that can be incorporated into practice;
  • shared decision-making in PsA, and including patients in their care;
