ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how a special spa treatment designed for skin conditions affects the quality of life for patients with psoriasis, a chronic skin condition that can cause redness, itching, and discomfort. The study will look at the impact of this therapy over a period of 4.5 months, aiming to see if it helps improve the daily lives of those who participate.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and have a diagnosed case of psoriasis that has been stable for the last six months. They should also be available for an 18-day spa treatment and be willing to follow up for nine months after the treatment. However, there are some reasons why someone might not be able to participate, such as having certain serious health conditions or having undergone similar spa treatments recently. If you or a loved one is considering joining this trial, it’s important to discuss it with a healthcare provider to understand if it’s a good fit.
