Summary
This study looks at whether losing weight can make psoriasis treatments more effective in overweight or obese patients. About 70 adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis will either get standard care alone or standard care plus a personalized weight loss plan (diet, exercise, and possibly medication). Researchers will check skin improvement, weight changes, and quality of life over 24 weeks.
