Filter by:We designed this study as a multicenter, randomized, double blinded and placebo-controlled clinical trial. The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and control of recurrence rate of psoriasis with blood stasis syndrome.
To compare the results of vitamin D plus UVB in treatment of psoriasis vulgaris with the results of UVB alone to study the relation between serum vitamin D and PASI score before and after treatment.
A phase 4 multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled Study evaluating the Effect of Apremilast on Pruritus and Quality of Life of Patients with moderate-to-severe Scalp Psoriasis
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether light therapy can help improve plaque psoriasis. This is a study based on a new medical device. The device produces its light from light emitting diodes. This type of technology has been used for several years in the treatment of other skin conditions. However, the investigators want to study the effect of a combination of very specific wavelengths of light on reducing the signs and symptoms of plaque psoriasis. The Investigators are looking to recruit 25 volunteers from the general population between the ages of 18 and 65 years old with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis and who are otherwise healthy. The light treatments are 5 times a week for 12 weeks and the treatment is self-administered at home. Each treatment is 15 minutes. The total duration of the study is 16 weeks. This is a controlled trial. This means that the volunteer will treat one plaque with the light therapy device and the other plaque will remain untreated for the period of the study.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory and proliferative papulosquamous skin disease of unknown cause,overexpression of Anti Microbial Peptides is characteristic of psoriasis. Granulysin is a cytolytic and proinflammatory peptide that belongs to a family of saposin-like, lipid binding antimicrobial peptides, and localized in the granular compartments of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells,Patients with psoriasis had high tissue granulysin expression, which increased with increased clinical severity of the disease. The aim of the study is to measure serum granulysin level and correlate with severity of psoriasis and tissue level of granulysin.
This study is a prospective, single blinded, randomized, pilot study to compare the effectiveness and safety profile of oral versus subcutaneous route of administration of methotrexate in management of patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. The recruited participants with moderate to severe psoriasis will be randomized into treatment arms. Randomization will be done using computer generated random number table. The participants in the first treatment arm will receive 0.3 mg/kg ( upto a maximum of 25 mg/week ) of weekly oral methotrexate for 12 weeks or achievement of PASI 90 whichever is earlier while the participants in second treatment arm will receive subcutaneous methotrexate at 0.3 mg/kg/week for the same duration. The participants will be followed at regular intervals and monitored adequately for hematological, hepatotoxic and other adverse effects both clinically and through laboratory investigations according to methotrexate consensus guidelines during the treatment period. PASI, percentage of body surface area (BSA) involvement and DLQI will be assessed at each follow up visit and at the end of 12 weeks. The treatment will be tapered at the rate of 5 mg/2 weeks and stopped after 12 weeks or achievement of PASI 90 whichever is earlier.. Follow ups will be done at every 2 weeks until treatment completion (12 weeks) and at every 4 weeks till 24 weeks after completion of treatment. The primary outcome measures will be achievement of PASI 90 (90 % reduction in psoriasis area severity score (PASI) compared to baseline).The secondary outcomes will be improvement in DLQI (dermatology life quality index), relapse rate and adverse events if any.
