Filter by:The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate the degree of post-inflammatory pigmentation alteration on legs of study subjects treated with two different psoriasis treatments. Betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream is a high potency steroid that is commonly used to alleviate the inflammation of psoriasis. Tapinarof is another medication approved for psoriasis; tapinarof activates aryl hydrocarbon receptors to downregulate inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin [IL]-17) which play a large role in psoriasis. Study subjects will be randomized to receive one of these medications and will be followed to monitor for PIPA. Photographs will be taken to help evaluate visual changes. The Taylor Hyperpigmentation scale will be used to grade the area and severity of hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation; severity of erythema, burning, peeling, and dryness will also be recorded. This will allow us to understand the effects of two standard-of-care psoriasis medications to better treat patients.
to evaluate the impact of adalimumab therapy on quality of life in patient with severe psoriasis.
This is a multicenter, one-arm, prospective, observational study，intended to assess evaluation of efficacy and safety of Apremilast in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis。During this study, it is expected to collect data at at baseline and weeks 2, 6, 10, 16, and 20 after treatment。
This study aims to assess cutaneous and blood immune cell function of patients with psoriasis before and after initiation of treatment with the Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) blocker, deucravacitinib.
Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease with huge negative impact on the quality of life of the patients, and has an overall prevalence of 2% to 3% in the general population. Plaques psoriasis is the most common type of the disease and presents red, well demarcated, and silvery plaques mainly localized in the umbilical and lumbosacral area as well as in the elbows, knees, and scalp. Currently, pharmacological treatments such as retinoids, corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs and biologics remain the main options for most psoriasis patients. However, side effect and high cost barred many ordinary psoriasis patients from benefiting from the treatments. A Chinese medicine formula "Shuiniujiao Dihuang Decoction with Variation (SDD)" was prescribed by Prof. Lin for many years and observed to be effective in relieving psoriasis patients' clinical manifestations. In this study, subjects with psoriasis will be randomized into treatment group of "SDD" or placebo group for 12 weeks.
Crohn's Disease (CD) and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory diseases. Ustekinumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody. Ustekinumab is expensive and primary non-response is high in both CD and psoriasis. Currently, there are no predictors of response to ustekinumab and the actual mechanism of action has not yet been elucidated. To clarify the mechanism of action and gain a better understanding of the high primary non-response rates, the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) developed a tracer fluorescently labeling ustekinumab. This study aims to gain insight into ustekinumab distribution and concentrations in the gut. The current study aims to identify the ustekinumab target cells in the inflamed gut mucosa and skin using quantitative fluorescence molecular endoscopy (qFME). By gaining insight into local ustekinumab concentrations, drug distribution, and by discovering target cells, we expect to gain insight into the mechanism of action of ustekinumab.
A cross sectional clinical study will be conducted on male patients with moderate and sever psoriasis vulgaris to: - Identify the pattern of serum testosterone level and tissue androgen receptors. - Evaluate the relationship between serum testosterone level, tissue androgen receptors and the severity of psoriasis vulgaris
Compare the effect of Radiofrequency to long pulsed Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser in treatment of fingernail psoriasis.
Most people with psoriasis have very limited disease, yet that disease may still have a large impact on their lives. While limited psoriasis may be amenable to topical treatment, patients are exceptionally poorly adherent to topical treatment, especially over the long run.
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease that affects approximately 2% of the population. The development and exacerbation of psoriasis involve an interaction between multiple genetic and environmental risk factors.
