Laser treatment guided by special light for psoriasis
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special light to see psoriasis tissue more clearly helps doctors remove it more precisely with a laser. It may lead to better treatment results for people with psoriasis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have psoriasis on at least 3 separate areas of your skin, like your torso, arms, legs, or face.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests a new laser (PALLAS) that delivers targeted UVB light to treat skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema. It may help if your doctor thinks your skin problem could improve with UVB therapy.
This study compares two ways to treat psoriasis on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet. Half of the participants will get a special laser treatment along with a steroid cream, while the other half will get only the cream, to see which approach works better.
This trial tests if an 18-day spa treatment designed for skin conditions can improve quality of life in people with psoriasis. You must have moderate-to-severe psoriasis (DLQI score over 10) and stable treatment for the last 6 months.
This study tests whether narrowband ultraviolet B (UVB) light given three times a week for 12 weeks improves moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. It is an “open-label” pilot, meaning everyone gets the UVB treatment and researchers track how your skin responds.
This study looks at skin cells at the single-cell level to predict which psoriasis treatments will work best for you. It may help doctors personalize treatment choices for plaque psoriasis.
This trial compares two procedures to improve white patches on the skin that are not caused by vitiligo: a fractional CO2 laser or a treatment called dermabrasion with 5-fluorouracil. Both aim to help skin color return to the affected areas.
