The Relationship Between Moderate-to-severe Psoriasis and Sleep Disturbance

Shanghai Yueyang Integrated Medicine Hospital156 enrolled

Overview

Psoriasis is a common chronic and systemic immune-mediated disease, induced by a combination of genetic and environmental effects. The increasingly worrying question is the negative impact on patients' sleep, which has become an important comorbidity of psoriasis. To investigate the causal relationship between psoriasis and sleep status, a prospective cohort study will be conducted by separating moderate-to-severe psoriasis patients and healthy individuals into distinct cohorts in order to observe their sleep status.

Target follow-up duration for the study is 24 weeks, during which participants will undergo a sleep monitoring session every 8 weeks. The sleep monitoring data collected includes time to fall asleep, time to bed, sleep perception, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The Dermatology Quality of Life Index (DLQI), the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will simultaneously be used to assess the severity of the disease in the cohort of patients with psoriasis.
