Summary

This trial tests whether a gluten-free, low-histamine diet — alone or combined with a supervised physical therapy program — can reduce skin severity and inflammation in children aged 6 to 17 with mild to moderate psoriasis. Sixty participants are randomly assigned to usual care, the diet only, or the diet plus exercise for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if these lifestyle changes offer a safe, non-drug way to manage the condition.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: a gluten-free, low-histamine anti-inflammatory diet combined with supervised physical therapy
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a drug-free way to manage psoriasis in children by reducing inflammation through diet and exercise.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The diet is restrictive and may be hard to follow long-term.
