Lichen sclerosus significantly affects women's health, but there aren't many comprehensive studies on effective treatments for this condition. Current research at the Mayo Clinic, comparing CO2 laser treatment with clobetasol, and investigating photodynamic therapy.
However, these studies often have a limited scope and small participant numbers, highlighting the need for larger, more extensive clinical trials. Funding a large-scale study is essential to develop more treatment options and provide better care for women suffering from this underdiagnosed and often misdiagnosed condition.
Your support can lead to groundbreaking research that can improve the lives of many.
