The study titled “Impact of Central Sensitization on Clinical and Functional Aspects of Psoriatic Arthritis” by Mehmet Nur Kaya et al. examines the prevalence of central sensitization (CS) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Conducted with 103 PsA patients, the research used the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) to assess CS’s influence on clinical and functional markers such as disease activity, sleep quality, depression, and anxiety. The study found that 65.1% of the patients had CS, with the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) emerging as significant predictors of CS. Patients with CS demonstrated higher BMI and disease activity scores. The research highlights the importance of considering CS when assessing pain sensitivity in PsA patients. These findings underscore the potential impact of CS on clinical management, with implications for treatment strategies aimed at improving quality of life in PsA patients.
