In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a prospective, randomized study in women of reproductive age with vulvar lichen sclerosus. Participants will be randomly assigned by investigators using a computer-generated sequence to receive either combined dynamic quadripolar radiofrequency (DQRF) plus topical corticosteroid therapy or topical high-potency corticosteroid therapy alone. Clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes and tissue-level changes evaluated by histology, elastin histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry for estrogen, androgen receptors and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) will be assessed before and after treatment, and during follow-up at 3, 6, and 12 months. Safety will be monitored throughout the study. Histochemical and immunohistochemical analyses will be performed in a subset of 10 patients per group before the treatment and at 3 months after the completion of treatment.
