Abstract

The growing demand for natural treatments has raised concerns among clinicians due to limited scientific evidence supporting their use. This review article addresses the issue by assisting dermatologists and general practitioners in recommending natural treatments for the following common nail disorders: nail brittleness, onychomycosis, periungual verrucae, paronychia, chloronychia, nail psoriasis, nail lichen planus, onychocryptosis, onycholysis, and congenital malalignment of the great toenail. One limitation is the scarcity of existing reviews on natural treatment options for nail disorders in the literature. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, this article consolidates the available evidence on natural treatment options for these conditions. Although some natural treatments for nail disorders are supported by scientific evidence, the indiscriminate use of such remedies may lead to severe poisoning and health problems. Given the widespread and increasing use of natural treatments, clinicians play a pivotal role in educating patients about evidence-based remedies and debunking misleading claims. By doing so, clinicians can enhance patient safety and improve treatment outcomes. It is essential for healthcare professionals to be well-informed and equipped with the knowledge to differentiate between effective natural treatments and unverified claims, ensuring that patients receive appropriate care.
指甲疾病的自然疗法
由于支持自然疗法的科学证据有限,对自然疗法日益增长的需求引起了临床医生的关注。这篇综述文章通过帮助皮肤科医生和全科医生推荐以下常见指甲疾病的自然治疗方法来解决这个问题:指甲脆性、甲真菌病、甲周疣、甲沟炎、绿甲癣、甲牛皮癣、甲扁平苔藓、甲爪隐症、甲溶症和先天性大趾甲畸形。一个限制是缺乏现有的评论对指甲疾病的自然治疗方案的文献。通过对现有文献的全面回顾,本文巩固了对这些条件的自然治疗选择的现有证据。虽然对指甲疾病的一些自然疗法有科学证据支持,但不加选择地使用这些疗法可能导致严重中毒和健康问题。鉴于自然疗法的广泛和不断增加的使用,临床医生在教育患者以证据为基础的补救措施和揭穿误导的说法方面发挥着关键作用。通过这样做,临床医生可以提高患者的安全性并改善治疗结果。对于医疗保健专业人员来说,有必要充分了解并具备区分有效的自然疗法和未经证实的说法的知识,以确保患者得到适当的护理。
