RESUMO

In a masked, randomized, concurrently controlled clinical trial we compared the therapeutic response of two regimens in which the same topical corticoid was used to treat 52 men who had stable psoriasis. One regimen, called reduced dose, consisted of once-a-day application of a representative potent fluorinated topical steroid ointment, fluocinonide (Lidex), combined with three-times-a-day application of its vehicle. The other regimen, called traditional dose, consisted of four-times-a-day topical application of the same steroid. Patients were assigned to one of the two regimens and observed for six weeks. Confidence intervals for the difference in true mean response under these two regimens provide good evidence that for these patients the traditional dose was not clinically superior to the reduced dose.
