Objectives: This study aimed to report the efficacy of Korean medicine with Jeongri-tang Gagam-bang for treating psoriasis.
Methods: A patient with psoriasis was treated with Jeongri-tang Gagam-bang (ïá×â÷·Ê¥ÊõÛ°). Moreover, acupuncture was performed on CV12 (ñéèÒ) and both sides of ST25 (ô¸õÒ), GV20 (ÛÝüå), LI4 (ùêÍÛ), and LR3 (÷¼õú) for 15 minutes. Psoriasis severity was assessed using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI). Pruritis and dyspepsia intensities were ranked on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of 0?10.
Results: After treatment, the PASI changed from 21.6 to 1.6. Patient¡¯s pruritus had almost disappeared and dyspepsia had improved.
Conclusions: This study shows that Jeongri-tang Gagam-bang (ïá×â÷·Ê¥ÊõÛ°) and acupuncture on CV12 (ñéèÒ), ST25 (ô¸õÒ), GV20 (ÛÝüå), LI4 (ùêÍÛ), and LR3 (÷¼õú) might be helpful to treat psoriasis symptoms by improving digestive function.
