Comparing clobetasol cream vs CO2 laser for vulvar lichen sclerosus
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments—clobetasol steroid cream or a fractional CO2 laser—for women with vulvar lichen sclerosus who have not used steroid cream before. It looks at how inflammation changes after treatment.

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 if laser therapy works as well as clobetasol cream for vulvar lichen sclerosus after a previous course of the cream. It aims to offer an alternative treatment option for people who have already completed the standard cream therapy.
This study tests a laser treatment for women with vulvar lichen sclerosus to see if it can help with symptoms like itching, burning, pain, or soreness. It's a option for those who have had a biopsy to confirm the condition.
