Brain scans to understand hidradenitis suppurativa
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses MRI brain scans to see if brain activity differs in people with hidradenitis suppurativa (a painful skin condition) compared to healthy volunteers. It also tracks how treatment affects the brain over 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at certain immune cells (called MAIT cells) in the skin of people with hidradenitis suppurativa, a painful skin condition. It will compare samples from people before they start a new biologic treatment, and may help doctors understand how these treatments work.
This study collects information from people with hidradenitis suppurativa (a skin condition causing painful lumps) to better understand the condition and improve care worldwide.
This trial tests a new medicine called SCT650C for people with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The goal is to see if it can reduce painful bumps and abscesses better than current treatments.
This trial is testing an experimental tablet called LT-002-158 in adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) that hasn't improved enough with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it's safe and helps reduce painful lumps and abscesses.
This study looks at how sex hormones affect the immune system in the skin, comparing healthy people and those with hidradenitis suppurativa (a painful skin condition). It aims to understand why this condition develops and how it might be treated.
This study looks at the physical and biological (body-related) characteristics of hidradenitis suppurativa. It may help researchers understand the condition better and improve future care.
