Study Overview
This study compares the effectiveness of a combined treatment using fractional CO2 laser and methotrexate gel against using methotrexate gel alone for nail psoriasis.
Key Findings
- Effective Treatments: Both treatments improved nail psoriasis significantly after 4 months.
- Longer Lasting Results: The laser-assisted treatment showed better results 3 months after the treatment ended.
- Improved Nail Health: The thickness of the nails decreased more in the laser group, indicating better healing.
- Patient Satisfaction: Despite some mild side effects, patients reported higher satisfaction with the laser treatment.
Practical Solutions
Topical methotrexate gel is effective for nail psoriasis, but combining it with fractional CO2 laser treatment enhances its benefits.
Value of Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are essential for developing safe and effective treatments. They help integrate new findings into everyday medical practice.
