Nailfold Capillary Changes in Psoriasis
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at tiny blood vessels in the nail area of people with psoriasis using a special microscope. It aims to see if psoriasis affects these vessels, which may help doctors better understand the disease.

This study looks at changes in tiny blood vessels under the fingernails and how they relate to lung scarring in people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). The goal is to better understand this connection to improve care.
This study looks at whether a simple test called capillaroscopy (which examines tiny blood vessels in your fingernails) can help doctors better manage undifferentiated connective tissue disease. If you join, the test results will be used to guide your care, and researchers will see how it affects treatment decisions.
