Sažetak
A study conducted at “Naftalan” Special Hospital in Croatia evaluated the impact
of naphtalanotherapy (NT) combined with individually tailored physiotherapy
(ITP) on 119 patients with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. Patients underwent
treatments for either two or three weeks. Results indicated that both treat-
ment durations significantly improved pain, stiffness, swelling, disease activity,
skin condition, and quality of life, with the three-week program proving more
effective. The findings support the inclusion of NT and ITP in the management
psoriatic disease and suggest that extended rehabilitation could have long-term
benefits, potentially influencing health insurance policies.
