Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Median time to relapse
Median time to relapse is a time interval. The time interval will be recorded between the end of treatment and the occurrence of relapse. Relapse was defined as loss of > 50% of maximum Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) improvement compared with pretreatment baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score
The improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score from baseline after treatment; the scale scores ranged from 0-72. The higher the scores are, the more severe the patients suffer
PASI-75
The proportion of patients who achieve at least 75% improvement in PASI score from baseline.
PASI-90
The proportion of patients who achieve at least 90% improvement in PASI score from baseline.
Physician's global assessment (PGA) score
Physician's global assessment for the condition
Pruritus Scores on the Visual Analogue Scale
Pruritus will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scales; The Scale scores ranged from 0-10; the higher the scores are, the more itching the patients suffer.

patients' attitudes, expectation and experience
Semi-structured individual interview will be conducted to explore patients' understanding and expectation for the combination therapy used in this study. Patients' experience of using the combination therapy will be recorded as well.
