BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a common disease, and many of its forms are resistant to treatment.
AIM: This study aimed to analyze the effects of complex treatment with Lake Saki sulfide peloids on the clinical and immunological parameters patients with psoriasis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 90 patients with steady-state psoriasis of mild or moderate severity (51 men and 39 women) aged 2365 (mean age 37.3 12.7) years, who received treatment at the N.I. Pirogov Saki Military Clinical Health Resort of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The control group consisted of 30 apparently healthy volunteers.
RESULTS: Taking into account the clinical and immunological parameters of patients with mild and moderate psoriasis, we have developed a complex differentiated method of treatment using Lake Saki peloids and brine supplemented with an alpha-lipoic acid preparation.
CONCLUSION: The presented complex method of peloid balneotherapy in combination with alpha-lipoic acid preparation intensifies the 14-day course of sanatorium-resort treatment, increases the duration of remission, and enhances the quality of life of patients with mild-to-moderate psoriasis.
