Comparing three treatments for vulvar lichen sclerosus
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares three different treatments for vulvar lichen sclerosus (a skin condition that can cause itching and pain in the vulvar area): a steroid ointment, a calcineurin inhibitor ointment, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. It aims to see which treatment works best to relieve symptoms.

This study tests whether a new topical treatment, StrataMGT, can reduce symptoms of vulvar lichen sclerosus. It is for women with moderate to severe symptoms who are already using a stable topical prescription.
This study tests the drug methotrexate as a treatment for severe vulvar lichen sclerosus that has not responded to strong steroid creams. It aims to see if methotrexate can reduce symptoms and prevent further scarring.
This study tests whether a supplement called Collagendep (which contains collagen and hyaluronic acid) can help reduce dryness in women with lichen sclerosus who are also having a fat grafting procedure. It aims to see if adding this supplement improves symptoms compared to the fat grafting alone.
This trial tests two light-based treatments (photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy) and a steroid cream (clobetasol) for painful oral lichen planus. The goal is to see which treatment works best to reduce mouth sores and discomfort.
