Active clinical trials for "Lichen Planus"

To compare the effect and side effects of photodynamic treatment and traditional topical steroid treatment in female genital erosive lichen planus

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of cedar honey in treatment of erosive and atrophic oral lichen planus ( a common oral problem).

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease whose prevalence in the general population is 0.5 -2.2%.Oral lesions in OLP are chronic, rarely undergo spontaneous remission. Patients with OLP had significantly increased risk of oral squamous cell carcinoma, irrespective of the clinical type of OLP and therapy. there is currently no cure for OLP. Previous study demonstrated a decreased antioxidant defence and increased oxidative damage to lipids.DNA and proteins in lichen planus. This oxidative modifications point to pathophysiological alterations mainly within the basal cell layers of epidermis and at the dermoepidermal junction. Purslane is an excellent source of vitamin A,C and E and essential amino acids, has been described as a power food of the future because of its high nutritive and antioxidant properties. The purpose of the study was to determined the efficacy of Purslane in the treatment of oral lichen planus.

the purpose of this study was to evaluate that if lycopene, a potent antioxidant can be used in the treatment of oral lichen planus. this could be useful as lycopene has no reported side effects and hence it can used in place of steroids which are commonly used for this condition and have many reported adverse effects. lycopene can be used in the treatment of this condition as free radicals have been found to play a role in the cause of this disease and also lower levels of lycopene were seen in these patints.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic autoimmune disease associated with cell-mediated immunological dysfunction. Symptomatic OLP is painful and complete healing is rare. Current treatments for lichen planus and lichenoid mucositis are usually directed towards reducing the symptoms. This double-blinded cross-over placebo-controlled clinical trial is designed to measure the effectiveness of a topical NSAID (Ibuprofen suspension - 100mg/5ml) compared with a placebo in reducing pain associated with Oral Lichen Planus and Oral Lichenoid Lesions. Exclusion criteria include: The occurrence of dysplasia in the histopathological specimen Known or suspected sensitivity to NSAID medication History of asthma History of gastrointestinal ulceration History of bleeding disorders Pregnancy Outcome measures are self-reported pain scores at day 0, day 4 and day 7 of use of the placebo or active suspension, using a horizontal 100 mm, visual analog scale (VAS). If subjects were already on active treatment at the time of enrollment, they will be asked to discontinue for 7 days for a washout period before starting the research study. cord their spontaneous pain level on a 0-10 VAS. Participants will be contacted initially after the first day of the intervention to discuss any concerns or questions. Every week, reminder phone calls will be made to the subjects to fill out the forms from the investigator and to check for any side effects from the intervention. Both the patient and the investigator will be blinded for the content of each bottle.

Treatment of oral lichen planus is challenging. Diverse therapeutic modalities have been suggested, but a permanent cure is not yet available. In some oral lichen planus patients, topical corticosteroid alone is not sufficiently enough, thus it may require a supplementation to augment its effect. This trial will assess the effectiveness of vitamin E as a supplement in management of oral lichen planus.

tacrolimus has been widely used as an immunosuppressant. the objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tacrolimus 0.1 % in muco adhesive patch compared to tacrolimus or corticosteroids in paste forms for symptomatic oral lichen planus, and to investigate the effect of topical tacrolimus or corticosteroids on the expression of caspase-3 in oral lichen planus as an early marker of apoptosis using immunohistochemically analysis

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of oral lycopene and systemic steroids in the treatment of erosive oral lichen planus and compare between the two therapeutic modalities.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the skin, mucous membranes,s and rarely scalp and nails. It is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease. Traditional treatment for OLP is topical steroids commonly used to treat mild to moderately symptomatic lesions. Recent treatment modalities for oral lichen planus include micronutrients such as antioxidants including vitamin E that modify the immune system function. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of adjunctive oral systemic vitamin E therapy on salivary nitric oxide levels in patients with erosive oral lichen planus.

The objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of 7-0940 in the management of genital skin conditions in female patients
