Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Dermatology
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with significant impact on quality of life.
  • Current treatment options for psoriasis have limitations and potential side effects.
  • Acupuncture is a complementary therapy with a growing body of research for various conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and assess the efficacy of acupuncture in treating psoriasis.
  • To evaluate the safety profile and adverse events associated with acupuncture for psoriasis.
  • To synthesize current evidence on acupuncture's role in psoriasis management.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive electronic database searches (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, Chinese databases) and manual searches for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to March 2015.
  • Independent study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment by two researchers.
  • Data synthesis using a random-effects model, presenting results as risk ratios and standardized mean differences.

Main Results:

  • Primary outcome: changes in psoriasis disease status assessed by clinical signs.
  • Secondary outcomes: global improvements, quality of life, safety (adverse events), and cost-effectiveness.
  • Results will be presented using meta-analysis techniques.

Conclusions:

  • The systematic review will provide a comprehensive evaluation of acupuncture for psoriasis.
  • Findings will inform clinical decision-making regarding the use of acupuncture as a therapeutic option.
  • Dissemination through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations will contribute to the scientific literature.
