摘要

Abstract

Objective:

To examine data from studies supporting the clinical efficacy of medical approaches from India traditional systems of medicines like Ayurveda

Unani

Siddha

and Homeopathy for psoriasis using outcome indicators employed in clinical practice and research.

Methods:

Searches were conducted between December 2019 and September 2020 in databases PubMed

Scopus

Web of Science and Ovid Medline using search terms including traditional

complementary

psoriasis

Kushtha

Ayurveda

Siddha

Unani

Homeopathy and clinical. Controlled trials

case series and case reports published from India were included.

Results:

Data of 17 selected studies were extracted. Treatment efficacy in terms of improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score or/and percentage reduction in score (PASI 50

PASI 75 and PASI 90) or/and patientreported outcomes using instruments like Dermatology Life Quality Index and Psoriasis Disability Index were noted. All studies reported good improvement as per the study specific outcome. However

study characteristics

including study design

sample size

follow-up period

inclusion and exclusion criteria were heterogeneous

and the choice of outcome measures was not adequate to conclude the effectiveness of intervention. The use of some herbs as common ingredients in several formulations across different systems of medicines were noted in analyzing individual formulation.

Conclusions:

Future studies must incorporate a comprehensive study design with specific outcome measures like PASI

PASI 75

PASI 90

quality of life parameters

compliance to medications

adverse reactions

remission period

relapse rate and cost-effectiveness with long term follow-up. The currently available evidence on the roles of these herbs at molecular level in psoriasis is preliminary.
