Inflammatory Arthritis Research

Inflammatory arthritis research focuses on understanding conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its joints. This can lead to pain, swelling, and stiffness. Researchers study the causes, genetics, and treatments, including medications and lifestyle changes, aiming to reduce symptoms and improve patients' quality of life. Advanced techniques, like imaging and lab analysis, help track disease progression and response to treatments. The goal is to develop more effective therapies and ultimately find a cure for these chronic inflammatory diseases.
