First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tested two different drugs, apremilast and methotrexate, added to standard steroid treatment for people with oral lichen planus, a painful inflammatory mouth condition. The goal was to see which drug works better and has fewer side effects, since long-term steroid use can be harmful. 64 adults who did not improve with topical steroids took part in this head-to-head comparison over 12 weeks.
