简要总结
This is a two-center study aimed to assess the efficacy of Dead Sea Minerals in alleviating symptoms of Psoriasis Vulgaris, in 50 patients undergoing phototherapy. A bilateral left right comparison will be made, after using the study product and the placebo, for 8 weeks, twice daily, on each of the body sides (left right). In addition to the clinical evaluations, skin biochemistry will be studied using non-invasive techniques. The latter will be correlated with the clinical results of the patients. These will serve for future development of diagnostic assays and personalized therapies.

结局指标
主要结局
change from baseline of PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index)
时间窗: 8 weeks
Grade 2 lesions (left and right- each one assigned a different treatment: study product or placebo)as follows:E=Erythema (redness) I=Induration (thickness) D=Desquamation (scales) 0 = Absent 1. = Slight 2. = Moderate 3= Severe 4 = Very severe sum the result: modified PASI=E+I+D (in absence of all 3 symptomes the PASI equals 0, if all 3 are very severe then it equals 12.
次要结局
- change from baseline of the Skin Hydration level(8 weeks)
