Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a complex inflammatory disease often associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). It has been demonstrated that pain catastrophizing (PC), characterized by an exaggerated negative cognitive and emotional response to actual or anticipated pain, impacts the achievement of remission and therapy discontinuation in patients with PsA. In this study, we evaluate the potential role of MetS, the most prevalent comorbidity in PsA, in influencing PC in patients with PsA.
