Acupuncture plus herbal cream vs standard cream for plaque psoriasis
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding a Chinese herbal cream to acupuncture works as well as adding a standard psoriasis cream (calcipotriol) to acupuncture. It's for people with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis and may offer a natural treatment option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
