Neurodermatitis↗

[Psychophysiologic and psychoneuroimmunologic studies in neurodermatitis. Overview and critical evaluation].

Results of psychophysiological, psychoendocrinological, and psychoneuroimmunological research on the skin in patients with atopic dermatitis were evaluated. 11 investigations were selected and analysed with respect to both design and results. In 6 instances, healthy or ill control groups were included, rarely did the sample size exceed 30. With respect to physiology, blood pressure, heart rate and EDA were most commonly assessed; with respect to immunology, number of leucocytes and differential blood count and with respect to psychology, anxiety, neuroticism and stress perception. The results involving stress induction, itching induction and the relationship of personality and skin parameters were not consistent. The best established relationship is that between skin reactivity (flare, wheal size and pruritus) on the one hand and cognitive appraisal of stress-stimuli and the experimental situation on the other hand. Psychoendocrinological and even more psychoimmunological indicators of the stress of reaction-unlike psychophysiological indicators-were correlated with the skin response. Only half of the studies found an elevated physiological stress reaction in patients with atopic dermatitis.

[Current status of the interdisciplinary model project "Neurodermatitis Education for Children and Adolescents"].

With the help of the German Ministry of Health and the health insurance companies a national interdisciplinary project for children and adolescents with atopic eczema will be developed. The aim of the project is to generate standardized teaching concepts for parents and children covering medical, psychological and social aspect of the disease. 800 children and adolescents of different age groups will be enrolled in this project. Furthermore, during the three years of the study the efficacy of the teaching concept will be evaluated.
