Lowest Effective Concentration of Intralesional Triamcinolone Acetonide for Nail Psoriasis
The most effective concentration of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide will be determined between 0 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL, 5.0 mg/mL, 7.5 mg/mL, and 10.0 mg/mL.
Time frame: 24 weeks (end of study)
Change From Baseline in Nail Psoriasis, as Measured by Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI)
The Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) is used to evaluate nail psoriasis. Scores range from 0 to 8 with 0 indicating no nail psoriasis and higher scores indicating worsening nail psoriasis.
Time frame: Baseline, 24 weeks (end of study)
Change From Baseline in Nail Psoriasis Qualify of Life, as Measured by Development and Validation of Nail Psoriasis Quality of Life Scale (NPQ10)
The NPQ10 comprises 10 questions gauging the impact of nail psoriasis on daily activities. Each response is scored from 0 to 2, resulting in a total score between 0 and 20, where higher values indicate a more significant impact. The final scores are converted to percentages, reflecting the proportion of questions answered by the patient. The obtained score correlates proportionally with the level of functional difficulty experienced, with 0% indicating no impairment and 100% indicating the worst possible impairment.
Time frame: Baseline, 24 weeks (end of study)
Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event
