Do you have itchiness due to mild-to-moderate plaque psoriasis?
Plaque psoriasis is a chronic skin disease affecting approximately 2% to 3% of the population worldwide. Symptoms of psoriasis include red, raised, inflamed patches of skin that may crack and bleed. However, one of the most common symptoms in psoriasis is itch, which has a significant impact on the quality of life of patients with psoriasis.
The Department of Dermatology at UConn Health is conducting a research study testing an investigational ointment to be applied to the skin, compared to placebo (inactive ointment), for itchiness associated with psoriasis. In order to qualify, your psoriasis must cover between 1 and 15% of your body surface area (or an area equal to 1 and 15 hand sized patches).
There is no cost to participate in this research study, and qualified participants will receive examinations by a board-certified dermatologist.
