Despite the great advances in our understanding of disease pathogenesis and a rich variety of therapeutic options, including the availability of newer biologic agents, there is still no cure for psoriasis. Based on low levels of satisfaction in the treatment they receive and their overall care, it is not surprising that a substantial part of patients turn to complementary and alternative therapies. Integrative medicine is an exciting new approach to health care. The dermatologist should recognize this growing trend and become familiar with the current literature on integrative therapies for psoriasis. Several complementary therapies, those that have been found to be safe and effective, can be recommended as part of an integrative treatment plan.
尽管我们对疾病发病机制的理解有了很大的进步，并且有多种治疗选择，包括新型生物制剂的出现，但银屑病仍然无法治愈。由于患者对治疗效果的满意度较低，以及整体护理水平不高，相当一部分患者转向了补充和替代疗法，这并不奇怪。整体医学是一种令人兴奋的医疗保健新方法。皮肤科医生应该认识到这一不断增长的趋势，并熟悉关于银屑病整体治疗的最新文献。一些被发现安全有效的补充疗法可以作为整体治疗计划的一部分被推荐。
