Testing if a healthy diet reduces inflammation in psoriasis
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a full-body PET scan to see if switching to a balanced, nutritious diet can lower inflammation throughout the body and in the skin for people with psoriasis. It may help if you are overweight and have a poor diet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have psoriasis covering at least 3% of your body (like your arms, legs, or torso)
- You are overweight (BMI 25 or higher)
- You usually eat a Western-style diet (low in fruits, vegetables, and fiber) and are willing to change it
- You can fast for at least 6 hours before the PET scan
- You can lie still on a scanner bed for up to 60 minutes

This study tests whether adding a Mediterranean diet to your psoriasis treatment can improve your skin. You will be asked to follow a heart-healthy diet for several months while taking a new biologic medicine.
This trial tests if adding a gluten-free, low-histamine anti-inflammatory diet, and in some cases physical therapy, helps children with mild-to-moderate plaque psoriasis. It aims to see if these lifestyle changes can improve skin symptoms when combined with usual treatment.
This trial studies whether a dietary approach can help people with mild-to-moderate psoriasis. It may be especially focused on people who do not have signs of wheat/gluten-related immune reactions.
This study looks at how blood sugar control (including diabetes) changes immune cells in the skin for people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It may help researchers understand what drives psoriasis and how it could respond to future treatments.
This study looks at how inflammatory “cytokines” are expressed in people with psoriasis—both those with joint involvement and those without. It may help researchers understand what drives joint disease and guide better future monitoring or treatments.
This study looks at how inflammation-related genes behave in people with psoriasis. It may help researchers understand why psoriasis flares and how it could be better treated.
