CHM Chinese herbal medicine
- PASI-50, PASI score decreases more than 50 % from baseline
- Relapse, loss of 50 % of PASI improvement from baseline in patients who have achieved treatment success (at least 50 % improvement in PASI score from baseline)
- Rebound, defined only for patients who achieved PASI-50, occurred when the improvement in the PASI score increased up to 25 % from the baseline PASI score
- There was no difference in the relapse rate between the two groups by Chi-square (odds ratio: 0.10; 95 % CI: 0.008, 1.288; P = 0.119)
