Management of psoriatic JIA

Pharmacological management of psoriatic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) depends on the number of actively involved joints.

For patients with oligoarthritis (up to 4 joints involved), see Management for oligoarticular JIA for advice.

For patients with polyarthritis (more than 4 joints involved), see Management of rheumatoid factor-negative polyarticular JIA for advice.

For dactylitis, a corticosteroid injection along the tendon sheath, followed by regular physical and occupational therapy can be helpful, particularly if fingers are involved.
