Even well-controlled psoriasis patients have unmet treatment needs regardless of disease severity.

CONCLUSION: 16% of patients with psoriasis meet study definition for "well-controlled" disease. Less than 20% of these well- controlled patients with psoriasis are satisfied with their current level of control and clearance and would not consider trying new treatments, suggesting the majority of well-controlled patients, regardless of disease severity, still have unmet needs. Strongerpatient-physician communication may contribute to patient-based, comprehensive care in concordance with a health system that isheaded towards financial incentives for better patient satisfaction.
