简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a botanical Total Coumarin topical cream (TC Cream) works to treat psoriasis in adults. It will also learn about the safety of the topical TC Cream. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does TC Cream improve the psoriasis disease symptoms?
- What medical problems do participants have when applying TC Cream?
- Does TC Cream improve the quality of life of psoriasis patients? Researchers will compare TC Cream to a placebo cream (a look-alike cream that contains no active drug) to see if TC Cream works to treat psoriasis.
Participants will:
- Topically apply the TC Cream or a placebo cream twice daily every day to affected skin for 8 weeks
- Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests
- Keep a diary of their symptoms and their diseased skin conditions during the application of the topical cream
详细描述
Participants are put into one of two groups: 1. TC Cream group: receives the cream with the active botanical ingredient; 2. Placebo group: receives a look-alike cream with no active ingredient. Participants will apply the assigned cream twice daily (morning and evening) to psoriasis-affected areas for 8 weeks and will come to the clinic every 2 weeks for checkups and study tests. Doctors will check your skin, measure psoriasis severity, and ask about symptoms and any side effects. The study aims to decide whether TC Cream is a safe, effective topical option for psoriasis and whether it can also help people feel better in daily life.
