| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To explore the clinical effects of herbal steaming therapy in treating blood-heat-type psoriasis based on factorial design.[Methods] Totally 90 patients were randomly divided into 9 groups to conduct a two-factor (temperature,time) three-level (temperature:38℃,40℃,42℃;time:20 min,25 min,30 min) factorial design.[Results] Combined the factor of temperature with time,there are different effect in treating blood-heat-type psoriasis with herbal steaming therapy:42℃×25 min > 42℃×30 min > 42℃×20 min > 40℃×25min > 40℃×20 min > 38℃×30 min > 40℃×30 min > 38℃×20 min > 38℃×25 min. The interaction of the statistical analysis results between time and temperature has no statistical significance (P>0.05). However,there is statistical significance (P<0.05) considering the single effect of temperature which means different value of temperature has remarkable influence on the decreasing PASI score. Furthermore,the PASI score decreases significantly when the temperature at 42℃.[Conclusion] In treating blood-heat-type psoriasis with herbal steaming therapy,the group of 42℃×25 min produces the highest curative effect and without any side effect. |
