Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the mucous membranes inside the mouth, causing pain and discomfort, and significantly impacting the quality of life for those affected. This condition, which affects over 6 million Americans, often presents with lesions that can be painful and ulcerative. The exact cause of OLP remains unknown, but it is believed to involve an immune response where the body's white blood cells attack the mucosal lining of the mouth. Current therapeutic options are limited and the urgent need for effective treatments has driven ongoing research and clinical trials.
The potential uses for this registry about OLP include: improving the scientific understanding of oral lichen planus, discovering trends and common needs of registry participants, describing the aggregate personal characteristics of patients within the registry, documenting registry patient history, and contacting registry participants to inform them of new studies.
