Trial summary

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a T-cell mediated chronic immunological disease directed to a still unknown antigen. It is a mucocutaneous and a psychosomatic disorder, with unknown prevalence rate; however studies suggest an incidence of 0.02 to 0.22% among the Indian population. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Anxiety and Depression in Symptomatic Oral Lichen Planus

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a T-cell mediated chronic immunological disease directed to a still unknown antigen. It is a mucocutaneous and a psychosomatic disorder, with unknown prevalence rate; however studies suggest an incidence of 0.02 to 0.22% among the Indian population. 75% of patients with cutaneous lichen planus also experience oral lesions and may be precipitated or exacerbated by psychosocial stressors.

In conditions like pain, anxiety and stress, many metabolic and endocrine changes occur in the body, the most common effect of which is increased cortisol level in blood. This hormone is a 21-carbon corticosteroid secreted by adrenal cortex and regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and water. Also known as stress hormone, cortisol is a decisive index in stressful situations.

This study is intended to correlate the serum cortisol levels with anxiety and depression in patients with symptomatic oral lichen planus. This study attempts to evaluate psychological anxiety and depression in oral lichen planus subjects using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale ( HADS) and correlating with their serum cortisol levels.

To understand and explore the etiopathogenesis for better management of oral lichen planus.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • venepunctureProcedure or surgery

    for both the groups, HADS questionnaire will be administered to assess the levels of anxiety and depression. The placebo group ( group A) will not be having subjects suffering from oral lichen planus

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GROUP APlacebo comparator5 ml of venous blood will be obtained from this group who do not have oral lichen planus and suffering from anxiety and/or depression. They will be administered a HADS standard questionnaire and their stress related issues calculated accordingly. This group has 30 patients totally
Receives: Procedure: venepuncture
GROUP BOtherThe group has 30 oral symptomatic lichen planus diagnosed patients also suffering with anxiety and/or depression. 5 ml of venous blood will be obtained from them for serum cortisol level analysis. HADS questionnaire will be administered for this group for evaluation of levels of anxiety and depression
Receives: Procedure: venepuncture
