Summary

This study aimed to test a new LED light device for treating mild to moderate plaque psoriasis. Participants would have treated one plaque at home with the device for 15 minutes daily, five days a week for 12 weeks, while leaving another plaque untreated for comparison. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling any volunteers, so no results are available.
