Six domains - Whats your Combination Questionnaire

WWW.6-DOMAINS.COM IS NOT INTENDED FOR US, UK OR IRELAND AUDIENCES

Discover Your Combination

This is intended to be completed by patients who have already been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis by a medical professional.

Six Domains: What's Your Combination?

Psoriatic arthritis affects each person differently.1 There are six different manifestations through which the disease can present itself10 – sometimes called ‘domains’ by healthcare professionals. Each person will have their own unique combination of domains, with varying levels of involvement. It is possible you may be affected by one or a combination of two or more domains, or even by all six of them. This questionnaire is intended to help you better understand which of the six domains you experience and the impact they have on your day-to-day activities.
Join over 630 other respondents and complete the questionnaire to discover your combination. It would allow you to understand your individual disease better, and you will be provided with a summary of your results to help inform discussions with your rheumatologist.
This is not a diagnostic tool or a guide for selecting treatment options. For advice on treating your psoriatic arthritis, please speak with your doctor.
The questionnaire will take around 5 minutes to finish.

Identifying the unique combination of your disease

This section will ask some questions related to each of the six domains of psoriatic arthritis, to help you identify the combination you are experiencing or have previously experienced.

Although psoriatic arthritis is a chronic, long-term disease, there are effective treatments to manage and control it. Not only understanding your domains, but also your preference for treatment is important to allow you to have a constructive conversation with your rheumatologist.

Based on information obtained or treatments undergone, I have the following preferences:
Have you completed this questionnaire before?

We hope that you have found this questionnaire helpful in understanding the combination of psoriatic arthritis domains that impact your day-to-day activities.
