Template:Infobox interventions Climatotherapy refers to temporary or permanent relocation of a patient to a region with a climate more favourable to recovery from or management of a condition. Examples include:
- The partial pressure of oxygen is lower at high altitude, so a person with sickle cell disease might move to a lower altitude to reduce the number of sickle crises.[1]
- Several sites around the world are advertised or studied as possibly of therapeutic benefit to patients with psoriasis, most notably the Dead Sea region.[2][3]
