Turmeric Based Therapy in the Treatment of Psoriasis: A Clinical Trial

Response to therapy is assessed via measurement of (PASI) every week for 12 w. The range of PASI score is from 0 (no disease) - 72 (sever disease). In PASI, the body is divided into four sections (head; arms; trunk; legs). Each of the sections is scored by itself, and then the four scores are combined into the final PASI. For each section, area of involved skin is given a grade from 0 to 6: 0= 0% of involved area, 1 = < 10% involved, 2=10-29% involved, 3 =30-49% involved area, 4 = 50-69% involved, 5 =70-89% involved, 6 = 90-100%involved. Within each section, the severity is estimated in three clinical parameters: erythema (redness), induration (thickness) and desquamation (scaling). Severity parameters are measured on a scale of 0 to 4, from none to maximum. The sum of three severity parameters is calculated for each section of body, multiplied by the area score for that section and multiplied by weight of respective section (0.1 for head, 0.2 for arms, 0.3 for body and 0.4 for legs).

Histopathologic evaluation of hematoxylin and eosin stained slides from psoriatic lesions before and after treatment or placebo. The slides will be given a score based on the presence or absence of each of the following: Hyperkeratosis (0.5), One mitosis/3 rete ridges (0·5), Acanthosis (1),Dermis lymphocytic infiltrate; Mild (0·5) Moderate (1) Marked (2·0) Parakeratosis (1),Papillary congestion (0.5),Lack of granular layer (1), Munro abscesses (2), Thinning above the papillae (0.5), Length of rete ridges (0.5), Clubbing of rete ridges (0·5). The sum score of each patient's slide will be recorded at baseline & every 4 week

The NFϰB expression will be identified by the percentage of positive nuclear stained epidermal cells in slide at base line and every 4 weeks till the end of study which is 12 week

Response to therapy will be assessed using dermatoscope with software mediated image analysis.

Five groups will be included in the study Group 1: 10 Psoriatic patients receive turmeric extract based ointment . Group 2: 10 psoriatic patients will receive turmeric extract + olive oil based ointment.
Group 3: 10 psoriatic patients will receive petrolatum base as negative control.
Group 4: 10 psoriatic patients will receive NBUVB as positive control. Group 5: 10 psoriatic patients will receive established topical treatment serving as 2nd positive control.

The patients do not know whether they are receiving the drugs with active ingredients or negative control. The pathologist will be masked regarding the groups and the point of time before or after therapy.
