Abstract

Objectives: Psoriasis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disease, with vulgaris psoriasis accounting for most cases. Psoriasis has a negative impact on patients’ psychology and lives, but there is no specific treatment. The body constitution of traditional medicine offers the framework for disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, and has been demonstrated to alleviate conditions in individuals with psoriasis. This study aimed to establish the proportion of body constitution types in plaque psoriasis patients, as well as the link between body constitution types and factors connected to vulgaris psoriasis. Subjects and Methods: A standardized Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire (CCMQ) was used to interview individuals with vulgaris psoriasis for the cross-sectional investigation. Following data collection, multivariate logistic regression was used to examine the connection between constitutional classifications of traditional medicine and factors associated with vulgaris psoriasis. Results: The results of a study on 384 individuals with vulgaris psoriasis revealed that the Qi-deficiency type had the most significant rate (38.54%), followed by the Inherited-special type (25.26%), and the Qi-depression type (18.49%), the Neutral type having the lowest incidence. Phlegm-dampness type is associated with disease duration, the Yang-deficiency type, and Qi-deficiency type are associated with infection, and the Qi-depression type is associated with stress. Conclusion: According to the study’s findings, there are three body constitution types of vulgaris psoriasis in traditional medicine: Qi-deficiency, Inherited-special, and Qi-depression. In this study, Phlegm-dampness is positively correlated with disease duration, Yang-deficiency and Qi-deficiency are correlated with infection, and Qi-depression is correlated with stress.
