Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this research was to study the safety and efficacy of treatment for psoriasis patients with Thai Traditional Medicine and compare the quality of life of the patients before and after treatment at Chaophraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital.
Methods: A retrospective study was employed with a purposive sampling to recruit psoriasis patients who received formulated herbal medicine for psoriasis from Abhaibhubejhr hospital, Prachinburi. The data were analysed using paired sample t-tests.
Results: The study found that psoriasis patients who received formulated herbal medicine consisted of more males than females. The majority of the patients were between 40 and 60 years old and the duration of the disease was 1 to 5 years. The average score of Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) after treatment reduced significantly (p<.05) as compared to before treatment (before treatment score = 5.41 and after treatment score = 3.33). The average score of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) after treatment was also reduced when compared to before treatment, i.e., from 7.42 to 4.54. No adverse effects were observed during using the herbal medicines in this study
Conclusions: This study showed that treatment for psoriasis using formulated herbal medicines was safe and efficient but should be developed further in terms of safety and effectiveness in order to develop guidelines for the treatment of psoriasis in the future.
