indomethacin and Psoriasis

indomethacin has been researched along with Psoriasis in 48 studies

Indomethacin: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES.
indometacin : A member of the class of indole-3-acetic acids that is indole-3-acetic acid in which the indole ring is substituted at positions 1, 2 and 5 by p-chlorobenzoyl, methyl, and methoxy groups, respectively. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, it is used in the treatment of musculoskeletal and joint disorders including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, bursitis and tendinitis.

Psoriasis: A common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region. Accelerated epidermopoiesis is considered to be the fundamental pathologic feature in psoriasis.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Fifty patients with psoriasis undergoing a standard Ingram regime were entered into a double-blind comparison of oral indomethacin and placebo."9.07The effect of oral indomethacin on psoriasis treated with the Ingram regime. ( Goodfield, MJ; Rowell, NR; Sheehan-Dare, RA, 1991)
"Topical 1% indomethacin had no effect on chronic stable plaque psoriasis in an open controlled study using subjective clinical scores nor in a randomised double-blind inert base controlled study using both subjective and objective measurements of lesional response; nor did it initiate or affect the development of psoriasis after cold injury."9.06Lack of effect of topical indomethacin on psoriasis. ( Green, CA; Shuster, S, 1987)
"In a controlled double blind study the therapeutic efficacy and tolerability of [1-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methylindole-3-acetoxyl]-acetic acid (acemetacin, TV 1322, Rantudil¿) and indometacin were tested in 40 patients (15 male, 25 female) suffering from psoriatic arthritis in which, in a period of three weeks, the patients received 180 mg acemetacin or 150 mg indometacin daily in form of three equally divided doses."9.05[Controlled double blind study on the effectiveness and adverse effects of acemetacin and indomethacin in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis]. ( Lonauer, G; Wirth, W, 1980)
" indomethacin per day was carried out on 34 patients with psoriatic arthritis and 16 patients with Reiter's disease."9.04A comparative pilot study of azapropazone and indomethacin in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis and Reiter's disease. ( Lassus, A, 1976)
"Fifty patients with psoriasis undergoing a standard Ingram regime were entered into a double-blind comparison of oral indomethacin and placebo."5.07The effect of oral indomethacin on psoriasis treated with the Ingram regime. ( Goodfield, MJ; Rowell, NR; Sheehan-Dare, RA, 1991)
"Topical 1% indomethacin had no effect on chronic stable plaque psoriasis in an open controlled study using subjective clinical scores nor in a randomised double-blind inert base controlled study using both subjective and objective measurements of lesional response; nor did it initiate or affect the development of psoriasis after cold injury."5.06Lack of effect of topical indomethacin on psoriasis. ( Green, CA; Shuster, S, 1987)
"In a double-blind fashion, we compared the effect of topical application of 1% indomethacin cream or 1% meclofenamate cream with the effect of vehicle therapy alone in thirty patients with psoriasis."5.06Topical application of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs prevents vehicle-induced improvement of psoriasis. ( Ellis, CN; Fallon, JD; Kang, S; Vanderveen, EE; Voorhees, JJ, 1986)
"In a controlled double blind study the therapeutic efficacy and tolerability of [1-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methylindole-3-acetoxyl]-acetic acid (acemetacin, TV 1322, Rantudil¿) and indometacin were tested in 40 patients (15 male, 25 female) suffering from psoriatic arthritis in which, in a period of three weeks, the patients received 180 mg acemetacin or 150 mg indometacin daily in form of three equally divided doses."5.05[Controlled double blind study on the effectiveness and adverse effects of acemetacin and indomethacin in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis].

"The aim of the reported series of experiments was to examine the possible role played by arachidonic acid (Aa) derivatives in monocyte aggregation in psoriasis."3.67Arachidonic acid and LTB4 enhance aggregation of psoriatic peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes in vitro. ( Altomare, GF; Pigatto, PD; Polenghi, MM; Tadini, GL; Villa, S, 1987)
" In a comparison of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents in this condition we attempted to overcome the difficulties by using a run-in period during which the dosage of one of the trial drugs was adjusted to suit the individual patient."2.65The run-in period in trial design: a comparison of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents in psoriatic arthropathy.
