Tiny nail vessels may reveal clues about psoriasis severity

NCT ID NCT07693595

First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This observational study examines nailfold capillaries — tiny blood vessels at the base of the fingernails — in people with psoriasis. Researchers will use a special microscope to see if these vessels look different depending on how severe the psoriasis is. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to help assess the disease.
