Objective : To observe effects of TKM (Traditional Korean Medicine) treatment for psoriasis vulgaris.
Methods : We did retrospective chart review for 32 psoriasis vulgaris patients who had been treated by TKM. TKM treatment included acupuncture, herb med, external herbal solution and moxibustion.
Result : PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) 75 responding rate at treatment week 16 was 71.9%. Mild symptom patients' improvement rate and moderate to severe symptom patients' improvement rate was similar. Mean PASI score was increased until treatment week 4 to 8, and after that period, mean PASI score was decreased.
Conclusion : This study suggest that TKM may be an effective treatment for psoriasis vulgaris.
