The claim
Posts online say that stem cell treatment helps with psoriatic arthritis.
Where research stands
We found 6 published papers on stem cell treatment and psoriatic arthritis. They were published between 2000 and 2017. None of them is a study in people. None was a study in animals, and none was only in cells in the lab. 1 paper is a review that sums up other studies.

Verdict
We found papers on stem cell treatment and psoriatic arthritis, but no study of it in people, in animals or in the lab.
Unproven means: it was only tested in animals or cells, or there is too little or mixed data from people. How we rate claims
What this means for you: No study we found shows whether it helps. Do not stop or change your medicines because of it. Ask your doctor before you start taking it.
