Abstract
A total of 559 Norwegian patients with psoriasis completed the Dermatology Life Quality Index questionnaire and a dermatologist assessed psoriasis severity before and after climate therapy. There was no control group. A clinically important improvement in quality of life after climate therapy is demonstrated. Improvement in disease severity is significantly related to improvement in quality of life.
