Median [interquartile range] of neuroanatomical data at baseline and after week 16 and 32, respectively. No significant differences at the endpoint (week 32) except for IENFL (p = 0.044). Statistics: independent samples: Mann–Whitney U test, significance at week 32 marked in bold; *p < 0.05.

IENFD: intraepidermal nerve fibre density; IENFL: intraepidermal nerve fibre length; LS: lesional; NL: non-lesional; n.s.: not significant; rel.: relative; SEC: secukinumab.
