Brief Summary  

**Aim:** 
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral tofacitinib in symptomatic oral lichen planus and compare it with topical triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% paste.

**Primary Objective:**
- Compare the efficacy of oral tofacitinib with topical triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% paste in treating symptomatic oral lichen planus.

**Secondary Objectives:**
1. Compare the safety profile between the two treatment arms.
2. Compare the change in pain score based on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
3. Compare the change in oral health-related quality of life using the Oral Health Impact Profile 14 score (OHIP-14).

**Primary Outcomes:**
1. Proportion of patients achieving a 75% reduction in the Oral Disease Severity Score (ODSS) at the end of 6 months.
2. Proportion of patients achieving a Thongprasom et al. score of 1/2 at the end of 6 months.

**Secondary Outcomes:**
1. Change in pain score based on VAS.
2. Change in oral health-related quality of life using OHIP-14.
3. Percentage change in the clinical scoring system at the end of 6 months.

**Materials and Methods:**

**Study Period:** January 2024 - December 2025

**Study Design:** Open-label randomized controlled trial.

**Study Setting:** 
Patients from the outpatient department of the Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology at PGIMER, Chandigarh, India.

**Sample Size:** 
54 patients total, with 30 patients in each arm, accounting for a 10% dropout rate.

**Methodology:**
- Ethics approval and trial registration.
- 6 months of active treatment followed by 3 months of follow-up.
- Detailed history, clinical assessment, and photographic documentation at baseline and every 4 weeks.
- Randomization using computer-generated sequences and allocation concealment with SNOSE technique.

**Treatment Regimen:**
- **Arm 1:** Oral tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily.
- **Arm 2:** Topical triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% paste thrice daily.

**Assessment:**
- Monthly clinical assessment using ODSS.
- Responses categorized as excellent (≥75% reduction), good (50-74%), poor (25-50%), or no response (<25%).

This study aims to provide comparative data on the effectiveness and safety of oral tofacitinib versus topical triamcinolone in treating symptomatic oral lichen planus, potentially guiding future treatment protocols.
