The response to treatment in patients suffering from skin and nail psoriasis is quantitatively evaluated by monitoring clinical severity and quality of life indexes, especially in the context of clinical trials. Among them, the psoriasis area severity index (PASI), the nail psoriasis area severity index (NAPSI), and the dermatology life quality index (DLQI) are currently the most widely used indexes.
