The Goeckerman regimen remains one of the oldest, most reliable treatment options for patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Goeckerman therapy currently consists of exposure to ultraviolet B light and application of crude coal tar. The details of the procedure can be confusing and challenging to understand for the first-time patient or provider.
To present a freely available online guide and video on Goeckerman treatment that explains the regimen in a patient-oriented manner.
The Goeckerman protocol used at the University of California-San Francisco Psoriasis and Skin Treatment Center as well as available information from the literature were reviewed to design a comprehensive guide for patients receiving Goeckerman treatment.
We created a printable guide and video resource that covers the supplies needed for Goeckerman regimen, the treatment procedure, expected results, how to monitor for adverse events, and discharge planning.
This new resource is beneficial for prospective patients planning to undergo Goeckerman treatment, healthcare providers, and trainees who want to learn more about this procedure. Online media and video delivers material in a way that is flexible and often familiar to patients.
格克曼疗法仍然是中重度银屑病患者最古老、最可靠的治疗选择之一。目前,格克曼疗法包括接受紫外线B照射和涂抹粗煤焦油。该治疗程序的细节对于初次接受治疗的患者或医疗服务提供者来说可能令人困惑且难以理解。
提供一份免费的关于格克曼治疗的在线指南和视频,以患者导向的方式解释该疗法。
回顾了加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校银屑病与皮肤治疗中心使用的格克曼方案以及文献中的可用信息,为接受格克曼治疗的患者设计一份全面的指南。
我们创建了一份可打印的指南和视频资源,涵盖了格克曼疗法所需的用品、治疗程序、预期效果、如何监测不良事件以及出院计划。
这个新资源对计划接受格克曼治疗的准患者、医疗服务提供者以及想要更多了解该治疗程序的实习生有益。在线媒体和视频以一种灵活且患者通常熟悉的方式提供资料。
