The diagnostic and therapeutic framework in the field of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is complex and not yet fully defined. Despite significant advances in pharmacological therapy and although particularly satisfactory results can be achieved thanks to new-generation DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs), there is still a significant gap regarding factors that, in addition to pharmacological therapy, could help patients further improve their health status, primarily dietary habits.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a special medical food based on MCTs and fiber in improving quantitative and qualitative parameters in patients with PsA under stable pharmacological treatment and with low disease activity. Specifically, this will be achieved through the analysis of health-related quality of life as perceived by patients, the impact of the disease on general life, body composition and sarcopenia, physical and mental health status of patients, dietary habits, and through an evaluation of metabolic and inflammatory blood parameters.
