Condition(s) targeted: Psoriasis
Intervention: Individualized practical training (Procedure)
Phase: N/A
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: Catholic University of the Sacred Heart
Summary
The aim of the study will be to evaluate the impact of this individualized practical
training on efficacy (evaluated by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and Body Surface
Area (BSA) score performed by a physician blinded to the study groups) and adherence
(calculated as days wherein gel was applied and as BSA/weight of gel applied rate) to a 4
week long treatment with dovobet gel. On the other hand, the investigators will evaluate in
both groups as demographic (as sex, age, job,..) or disease (as severity, duration, impact
of quality of life,..) characteristics influence the adherence to the treatment.
