Abstract

Palmoplantar psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that contributes to significant functional disability. Apart from the chronic inflammatory reactions in the skin, psoriasis patients are more likely to develop chronic systemic disorders, which impose significant physical, mental, and economic burdens. This warrants a holistic, patient-centered approach that can address the prevailing multimorbidity in psoriasis patients. Yoga and Naturopathy-based Lifestyle Interventions (YNBL) are known for their whole-person approach and are reported to be beneficial in the management of autoimmune disorders. We report a case of a 63-year-old male treated with YNBL for palmoplantar psoriasis along with diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, low back pain, and insomnia. The patient underwent YNBL in an inpatient setting for 10 days each with a gap of 7 months, along with follow-up advises. The prognosis was measured through the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, along with other biochemical markers like fasting blood sugar, random blood sugar, vitamins D and B12, and subjective visual analog scores for vitality and other symptoms. He achieved complete remission of psoriasis by the end of 8 months, and the results were sustained even during the follow-up. The results are encouraging for using the YNBL protocol in the management of palmoplantar psoriasis; however, these findings need to be validated using clinical trial designs.

使用瑜伽和自然疗法生活方式干预掌跖牛皮癣及其合并症的管理:一个病例报告
掌跖银屑病是一种自身免疫性疾病,可导致严重的功能残疾。除了皮肤中的慢性炎症反应外,银屑病患者更有可能发展为慢性系统性疾病,这会带来巨大的身体、精神和经济负担。这就保证了一种以患者为中心的整体方法,可以解决银屑病患者普遍存在的多发性疾病。基于瑜伽和自然疗法的生活方式干预(YNBL)以其全人方法而闻名,据报道对自身免疫性疾病的治疗有益。我们报告了一例63岁男性用YNBL治疗掌跖银屑病并伴有糖尿病、冠状动脉疾病、腰痛和失眠的病例。患者在住院环境中接受了为期10天的YNBL,间隔7个月,并提供了随访建议。通过银屑病面积和严重程度指数,以及其他生化指标,如空腹血糖、随机血糖、维生素D和B12,以及活力和其他症状的主观视觉模拟评分来衡量预后。他在8个月结束时实现了银屑病的完全缓解,即使在随访期间,结果也保持不变。该结果对于使用YNBL方案治疗掌跖银屑病是令人鼓舞的;然而,这些发现需要通过临床试验设计来验证。
