Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The treatment options for nail psoriasis have been limited, and the management of nail psoriasis has been challenging for physicians.To evaluate the effect of pulsed dye laser (PDL) in the treatment of nail psoriasis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Psoriatic nails of patient's right hand were treated using PDL (595 nm) .The pulsed duration is 1.5ms, the beam diameter is 7mm, and the laser energy is 8.0 to 10.0 J/cm2. The treatment course of pulse dye laser is once monthly for 6 months. Psoriatic nails of both hands are treated with Tazarotene cream for 6 months. Clinical efficacy is statistically evaluated according to Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) score differences between right and left hand one month after 3rd and 6th therapy.
