Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

 No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

 NCT05431959
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

 Plaque Psoriasis
Additional Details

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. It is associated with several important medical conditions, including psoriatic arthritis, and cardiometabolic syndrome. Its most common form, chronic plaque.The aim of this study is to evaluate how Lake Hévíz sulphur thermal mineral water therapy influences the composition of microbial communities that colonizes skin in patients with psoriasis, and the extent and severity of skin symptoms of psoriasis. The planned participants number is 16 outpatients between 18 and 70 years of age with mild to moderate psoriasis. The balneotherapy takes place in Lake Hévíz, five times a week for three weeks. The skin microbiome is collected from two different place by swabbing method from the patient. One sample is collected from the normal skin, which is not affected by psoriasis (crook of the arm), the second sample is collected from psoriatic plaque of the elbow. The samples is processed for a sequence-based microbiome analysis. The skin microbiome is evaluated by the analysis of the sample metagenome compositions, and the activity of psoriasis is evaluated on The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), is taken at week 0., at week 3.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Self-controlled

The skin microbiome was collected by swabbing method from the crook of the arm (normal skin) and the nearest plaque's surface. Balneotherapy in Lake Hévíz, 36℃ sulphur, carbonate, calcium, magnesium, hydrogen carbonate and very light radon-content thermal-mineral water 15 times in 3 weeks 30-minute therapy sessions. The total mineral substance of the water is 754 mg/l.

Interventions

Other: - balneotherapy

immersion in Lake Hévíz, 36℃ sulphur, carbonate, calcium, magnesium, hydrogen carbonate and very light radon-content thermal-mineral water 15 times in 3 weeks 30-minute therapy sessions. The total mineral substance of the water is 754 mg/l.
