Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of Korean Medicine Treatment on 101 psoriasis patients for 6 months.
Methods : Psoriasis Area and Severity Index(PASI) is used for measuring the degree of psoriasis with photos of total 101 psoriasis patients who have visited Korean medical clinic from October 11, 2013 to August 31, 2017. And we analyzed the PASI score according to gender, age, period of treatment, being used steroid or not.
Results : 1. The ratio of male to female was 44.55 : 55.45. The mean age of patients was 34.65 years old(All patients were constituted with 9.9% of 10~19 year-old group, 31.7% of 20~29 year-old group, 26.7% of 30~39 year-old group, 12.9% of 40~49 year-old group, 15.8% of 50~59 year-old group and 3.0% of 60~69 year-old group). 2. PASI score was significantly higher in men than in women before treatment, but there was no significant difference of PASI score improvement after 2, 4 and 6 months treatment in both men and women. 3. PASI score improvement according to age after 2, 4 and 6 months treatment was no significant difference. 5. In initial visit, the steroid group patients were 61 and non-steroid group patients were 40. PASI score in initial visit between steroid group and non-steroid group was no significant difference. And PASI score after 2, 4 and 6 months treatment was no significant difference.
Conclusions : PASI score was significantly decreased after 2, 4 and 6 months treatment compared with before treatment. PASI score improvement was significantly increased in proportion to the period of treatment.
