TRATAMENTO INTERVENCIONISTA NA PSORÍASE: IMPACTOS NA QUALIDADE DE VIDA E SAÚDE GERAL

Abstract

Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by the formation of scaly, red plaques, resulting from an acceleration of the cell renewal cycle. Although often considered solely a dermatological issue, psoriasis has profound impacts on patients' quality of life, affecting not only physical health, but also emotional and social well-being. Therefore, interventional treatment in psoriasis, which includes biological therapies and systemic medications, has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms and improving the general health of individuals. Objective: To investigate the effects of interventional treatment on psoriasis, evaluating its implications on the quality of life and general health of patients. Methodology: The Cochrane, Scielo and Medline databases were used, searching for articles published between 2022 and 2024, in Portuguese or English. Final Considerations: Interventional treatment in psoriasis represents a significant advance in the approach to this complex and impactful condition. On the one hand, the effectiveness of biological and systemic therapies not only reduces cutaneous manifestations, but also improves patients' quality of life, allowing greater participation in social and professional activities. Furthermore, this adequate management of psoriasis contributes to mental health, reducing the stigma associated with the disease. Therefore, it is essential that patients receive continuous support and medical monitoring, ensuring that interventions are personalized and effective.
