It is usually a chronic condition and notoriously difficult to treat, especially as the therapies usually give rise to a host of unwanted side effects. The method has already been successfully employed in a clinical study on patients whose hands were psoriasis-stricken. This variant of the disorder results in intense psychological strain and shows little response to conventional therapies. Using the electrical therapy, eleven of the twelve patients were healed.
Psoriasis is triggered by an increased cell division activity in the basal layer of the skin.
The electricity therapy is aimed at restoring the basal cell activity to normal levels. To achieve this, the affected area has to be electrified for 5 to 10 twice minutes a day over a period of twelve weeks. The current used is far below the level of an electromassage, and are felt only as a weak tickling sensation by the patients. The appropriate device allows affected people to easily treat themselves in the comfort of their own home.
