A study presented at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting found that a 2.5 mg/mL dose of triamcinolone acetonide is equally effective in treating nail psoriasis compared to higher doses. The study included 10 adult patients with isolated nail psoriasis and found that lower concentrations of the treatment were superior to higher concentrations for nail bed psoriasis. All treatment groups showed improvements in nail psoriasis severity index scores, with the 2.5 mg/mL concentration being the most effective and causing fewer adverse events. Larger randomized controlled trials are needed to determine optimal dosing for isolated nail psoriasis involving three or fewer nails.
