Comparative Study on Unani Formulation Vs Active Control in Plaque Psoriasis
Comparative Study on Marham-e-Asfedaj Versus Coal Tar 1% and Salicylic Acid 3% Solution Along With Mundij wa Mushil-i Sawdā in Taqashshur-al- Jild (Plaque Psoriasis) - A Randomized Open Labelled, Split Body Active Control Clinical Trial
This trial tests whether a Unani ointment (Marham-e-Asfedaj) plus an oral Unani formulation (Mundij wa Mushil-i Sawdā) works better than a active treatment (salicylic acid 3% solution, also combined with Mundij wa Mushil-i Sawdā) for treating chronic plaque psoriasis in adults. It will also check whether Marham-e-Asfedaj is safe to use.
Main question: Does adding Marham-e-Asfedaj to Mundij wa Mushil-i Sawdā work better than adding salicylic acid 3% solution to Mundij wa Mushil-i Sawdā?
What participants will do:
- Take a Unani oral medicine (Mundij wa Mushil-i Sawdā) once a day for the first 40 days
- Have two matching psoriasis patches treated differently - one side of the body (chosen at random) gets a Unani ointment (Marham-i-Asfedaj), and the other side gets a standard treatment (coal tar 1% + salicylic acid 3%). Both are applied twice daily from day 1 to day 60
- Give blood samples to check general health, liver, and kidney function, and have a small skin sample taken (biopsy) at the start (day 0) and end of treatment to see how the histological morphology has changed
- Come in for check-ups on days 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60, with a final follow-up visit one month after treatment ends
- Not use any other psoriasis treatment during the study, so the results reflect only the study treatments
Trial duration: 60 days of treatment, plus a follow-up visit 1 month later - so each participant is involved for about 3 months total.
What the study is measuring (outcome measures):
- Severity of psoriasis, tracked using two standard scoring tools (PASI and SPI), checked five times during treatment
- Quality of life, using a standard skin-disease questionnaire (DLQI), checked at the same visits
- Skin changes under the microscope, comparing biopsy samples from before and after treatment
- Safety, through blood tests checking overall health, liver, and kidney function

Detailní popis
After initial screening, patients will be recruited based on specific selection criteria, which include individuals aged between 20 and 60 years diagnosed with Plaque Psoriasis. Subjects exhibiting severe plaque psoriasis characterized by a PASI score greater than 20 and a severe Simplified Psoriasis Index (SPI), or those with infected psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ocular psoriasis, metabolic disorders, concomitant therapies, or other inflammatory skin conditions will be excluded from the study. Eligible patients, upon providing informed consent, will receive Mundij wa Mushil-i Sawdā,10gm orally once daily for the first 40 days. For topical treatment, the psoriatic lesions will be randomized-such as by body laterality (right vs. left)-to receive either Marham-i-Asfedaj or a combination of coal tar 1% and salicylic acid 3% solution, applied twice daily in a quantity sufficient (q.s.) from day 1 to day 60. Participants will undergo a series of investigations including hemogram, liver function tests (ALT, AST, ALP), renal function tests (S. urea, S. creatinine), and skin biopsy (punch biopsy) for histopathological evaluation wherein the morphology of the sample will be studied both before and after the treatment, specifically on day 0 and day 60. Clinical assessments using PASI, SPI, and DLQI will be conducted on days 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60, followed by a post-treatment evaluation one month after the completion of therapy. Throughout the study period, no concomitant therapy will be permitted.

Experimentální: Marham-e-Asfedaj + Salicylic Acid Comparison (Split-Body)
All enrolled participants receive Mundij wa Mushil-i Sawdā orally once daily for 40 days. For topical treatment, each participant applies Marham-e-Asfedaj (Drug A) to psoriatic plaques on one side of the body and Coal Tar with Salicylic Acid 3% solution (Drug B) to matching plaques on the contralateral side, for 60 days. Side allocation (right vs. left) is randomized for each participant. |

Psoriasis Area Severity Index

The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a validated clinical tool used to assess the severity and extent of psoriasis. It combines the evaluation of the degree of erythema (redness), induration (thickness), and desquamation (scaling) with the percentage of affected body surface area across four anatomical regions: head (10%), upper limbs (20%), trunk (30%), and lower limbs (40%). Each region is scored independently on:

The Simplified Psoriasis Index (SPI) is a validated, comprehensive tool designed to assess psoriasis severity, psychosocial impact, and treatment history in both clinical and research settings. It was developed to provide a user-friendly alternative to PASI, offering greater sensitivity to functionally important and psychosocially sensitive sites. The SPI consists of three domains:

Časové okno: DLQI will be assessed every 2 weeks from baseline (day 0), Day 15, day 30, day 45, day 60 and post treatment follow up (Day 90
|
The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a widely used, validated questionnaire developed to measure the impact of skin diseases on patients' quality of life. It is especially relevant in chronic dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne. The DLQI consists of 10 questions, each scored from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much), covering the following domains: Symptoms and feelings, Daily activities, Leisure, Work and school, Personal relationships, Treatment difficulties. The total score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater impairment. |
DLQI will be assessed every 2 weeks from baseline (day 0), Day 15, day 30, day 45, day 60 and post treatment follow up (Day 90
