Brief Summary

We will recruit 300 patients with psoriasis from Yueyang Hospital of Integrative Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who will not be currently diagnosed with diabetes but will have been identified as high-risk individuals based on the developed risk assessment model. Based on doctor's treatment opinions and patient preferences, participants will be divided into two groups in a 1:1 ratio: a Western medicine group and a TCM comprehensive treatment group.

Patients in the Western medicine group will receive treatment according to guidelines. Patients in the TCM comprehensive treatment group will be treated according to the guidelines and will additionally receive Taodan granules (to be taken daily during the treatment period after brewing the granules with lukewarm water in the morning and evening) and fish oil (1g, taken orally twice daily).

Patients in the TCM comprehensive treatment group will be required to complete at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week under the supervision of a physician. The patients will be treated for 16 weeks and followed up for 24 weeks to see if the treatment prevents the development of diabetes or insulin resistance.

Study Groups

Western medicine group

Treatment will be stratified according to the severity of psoriasis in patients, with therapeutic methods limited to the traditional treatment approaches outlined in the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Psoriasis (2023 Simplified Version). The treatment duration will be 16 weeks, followed by a 24-week follow-up period during which patients will not be restricted in their treatment modalities.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Western medicine

Intervention Type: DRUG

The treatment methods prescribed in the guidelines.

TCM comprehensive treatment group

In addition to the Western medicine treatment prescribed in the guidelines, patients are required to take fish oil orally and Taodan Granules, and engage in moderate to high-intensity aerobic exercise weekly.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

TCM comprehensive treatment

Intervention Type: OTHER

1. Taodan Granules (TCM formulation for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis): The granules consist of the following herbal components: milkvetch, licorice, angelica, rhizoma chuanxiong, peach seed, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Curcuma zedoaria, Achyranthes bidentata, and sarsaparilla. Patients will take it orally in two divided doses after breakfast and dinner.

2. Fish Oil: Patients will take 1g of fish oil orally twice daily. Patients will be instructed to purchase fish oil under the guidance of the researchers.

3. Exercise Plan: Researchers will design an exercise plan for patients, who will be required to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week.

Patients will undergo a 16-week treatment period followed by a 24-week follow-up period. During the follow-up, patients will continue taking fish oil and adhering to the exercise regimen, while other treatment modalities will be unrestricted.
