Read our Psoriasis research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a combination of intermittent fasting (eating normally 5 days a week, then eating very little on 2 days per week) along with regular treadmill exercise can help reduce dry eyes and improve other health problems in people who have psoriasis, prediabetes, and obesity. Half of the participants will receive both the fasting plan and the exercise program, while the other half will receive only the fasting plan. The study lasts 12 weeks.
Dry eyes, psoriasis, prediabetes, and obesity often occur together and can be difficult to treat with medications alone. This trial is exploring whether lifestyle changes—specifically fasting and exercise—might help address multiple problems at once.

You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups will follow an intermittent fasting plan for 12 weeks: you'll eat normally for 5 days, then on 2 non-consecutive days per week, you'll eat only 600 calories (women) or 650 calories (men) between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. If you're in the exercise group, you'll also do treadmill running 3 times per week for about 60 minutes each session (two 21-minute rounds with a 10-minute rest in between, plus warm-up and cool-down stretching). The study involves tracking changes in your eye dryness, skin condition, and metabolic health over the 12-week period.
