Brief Summary

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

Psoriasis is one of the most common immunemediated chronic inflammatory skin disorders.

Detailed Description

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

Psoriasis is one of the most common immunemediated chronic inflammatory skin disorders.

Beside genetic factors, several environmental factors such as injuries, infections, stress, drugs, and immune defect take part in autoimmune pathogenesis of the disease. In addition, it has been reported that some hormones may also have a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, due to their effects on keratinocytes proliferation.

Studies revealed that sex hormones manifest a variety of biological and immunological effects in the skin which modulate the natural course of psoriasis.

Approximately 20-30% of patients with psoriasis may also have psoriatic arthritis, which often causes significant musculoskeletal pain that significantly impairs quality of life (QoL).

Although sexual dysfunction is a common complaint, affecting 30 to 70% of psoriasis patients, few studies have analyzed the impact of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis on quality of sexual life.
