A 36-year-old female patient. Has been suffering from psoriasis for 2 years. Complaints include psoriasis lesions on the skin all over the body; joint pain when moving, with movement range reduced by 30% (sometimes due to sharp limitations in knee joint mobility, the patient has to urinate standing up). For the past year, she has also experienced severe, dull pain in the right scapula area.
On examination, the skin condition is widespread. Psoriasis plaques, which are pinkish-red and covered with silvery scales, merge and cover the entire back, hips, and calves. On the arms, the lesions are more prominent on the extensor surfaces. On the scalp, there are multiple scaly papules. The knee joints are erythematous and swollen. Consulted by an orthopedic surgeon who believes these pains are of psoriatic nature. The patient received 34 sessions of "INFRA R" resonant therapy (RT).
Results: Skin lesions diminished daily. After 25 sessions, the skin was completely clear except for a few spots on the back and head. Joint pain decreased, movement range increased to 60%, but movements are still limited (cannot fully squat). After 30 sessions, over a period of 2 weeks, the patient came for treatment twice a week. Consequently, the skin on the arms and legs cleared almost completely except for scar areas, with only a few new lesions appearing on the head. Pain in the scapula decreased by half. After a day's rest from treatment, further reduction in knee joint pain was noted. Home treatment with several emitters was recommended to maintain the therapeutic effect, but the patient declined. Remission lasted for 8 months. The relapse was characterized by less extensive skin lesions and reduced joint pain intensity.
Side Effects: Severe joint pains and cold symptoms for 5 days, leading to confinement to a wheelchair for 4 days due to inability to walk; however, after this, she was able to walk normally, and even better than before starting treatment.
Comments: In this case, near-complete remission was achieved. During the therapy course, there was a side effect of arthralgia. Therefore, it is suggested to determine the optimal exposure duration or to start treatment with lower exposure and increase it as tolerated.
