Chinese Herbal Medicine for the Treatment of Psoriasis Vulgaris: a Real World Study

The purpose of this study is to establish a multi-center clinical registration platform, to form the real world evidence of New Blood Syndrome Theory intervention in psoriasis, and to evaluate the therapeutic advantages of New Blood Syndrome Theory therapy in the clinical effective and recurrence rate of psoriasis vulgaris.

Psoriasis is a common chronic and recurrent inflammatory skin disease. The incidence of the disease is increasing year by year, seriously affecting people's quality of life. The systematic treatment of psoriasis in modern medicine is limited of wide application due to the adverse reactions of different degrees and the high economic cost.

Chinese Medicine (CM) has unique advantages in treatment of psoriasis. On the basis of CM principle--"Blood Differentiation and Treatment" in psoriasis and the combination of clinical experience, Chinese famous professor Wanzhang Qin proposed the "New Blood Syndrome Theory" in psoriasis--the psoriasis based in blood, with blood heat first, and blood stasis throughout the whole process of psoriasis. This study will form a systematic report on the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis with the New Blood Syndrome Theory; theoretically verified by prospective cohort studies, a theoretical system of the New Blood Syndrome Theory for psoriasis will be constructed.

Objectives of this study are to establish a multi-center clinical registration platform, to form the real world evidence of New Blood Syndrome Theory intervention in psoriasis, and to evaluate the therapeutic advantages of New Blood Syndrome Theory therapy in the clinical effective and recurrence rate of psoriasis vulgaris.
