尽管传统疗法的安全性和有效性越来越受到关注，但关于补充和替代医学(CAM)用于银屑病的信息很少。为了收集有关CAM使用的全面信息，我们对122名银屑病患者进行了面对面的访谈。记录过去12个月内使用的所有非常规治疗银屑病的药物。57名患者(46.7%)在前一年使用了一种CAM方法，包括局部和全身抗银屑病药物、膳食补充剂和饮食。使用了41种不同的非常规局部治疗。7名患者(5.7%)服用非常规全身用药，15.5%使用膳食补充剂。有三名患者报告目前坚持饮食治疗牛皮癣。临床医生通常不知道他们的患者正在使用补充疗法。CaM可能对牛皮癣患者既有好处也有风险。重要的是要提醒患者报告所有正在进行的和过去的局部和全身治疗。不鼓励使用成分、疗效和安全性未知的药物。
Despite the growing attention on safety and efficacy of conventional treatments, there is little information available on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) used in psoriasis. In order to collect comprehensive information on CAM use, we conducted a face-to-face interview with 122 patients with psoriasis. All unconventional treatments for psoriasis used in the last 12months were recorded. Fifty-seven patients (46.7%) used one of the CAM methods in the previous year, including topical and systemic antipsoriatics, dietary supplements, and diet. Forty-one different nonconventional topical treatments were used. Seven patients (5.7%) took nonconventional systemic medication, and 15.5% used dietary supplements. There were three patients who reported current adherence to a diet as treatment of psoriasis. Clinicians are often not informed that their patients are using complementary therapies. CAM may offer benefits as well as risks to patients with psoriasis. It is important to remind patient to report all ongoing and past topical and systemic treatments. The use of medications with unknown composition, efficiency, and safety should be discouraged.
