Study summary

A clinical study of subclinical enthesitis and synovitis in patients with vulgaris psoriasis

Read the detailed description

A total of 100 patients with vulgaris psoriasis and 100 age-matched controls with other skin diseases, all without musculoskeletal diseases, will be recruited. They will undergo dermatological assessment and a blinded PDUS evaluation. Clinical assessment included demographics, severity of psoriasis, musculoskeletal clinical examination and sport activities. PDUS evaluation consisted of the detection of grey scale (GS) synovitis and synovial PD signal in joints of extremities, GS enthesopathy and entheseal PD signal in entheses of lower limbs.

Study population

Both patients with psoriasis and patients with other skin diseases

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • age≥18years
  • patients with vulgaris psoriasis(dur
  • patients with other skin diseases without musculoskeletal disorders
  • no joint involvement and no clinical symptoms and signs of enthesitis and synovitis

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • ≥24
  • have history of gout or arthritis or peripheral neurological disease of lower extremity or trauma
  • have received any systemic therapy(i.e.NSAIDs, , , retinoids or biological agents) in 3 months
  • pregnant or breast-feeding
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 15, 2015, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
