One of the most important tasks in the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) is alleviation of racking skin dryness and persistent pruritus, because these factors exert a significant influence on worsening patients' quality of life. Cryotherapy being a new form of rehabilitation in AD may supplement and support a long-term process of AD treatment, because it has anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects and exerts a positive influence on the nervous system.
14 adults (mean age 32 ± 10.8) with mild to moderate AD were enrolled. WBC (15 treatments in total) took place in winter 2018/2019. Patient skin parameters (hydration of the epidermis, sebum level, and skin pH level) were measured with probes produced by Courage + Khazaka Electronic GmbH.
Changes were observed in the hydration level of the epidermis. The SCORAD index evaluating the AD intensity level also changed (decreased).
Due to these properties, hypothesis has been put forward that WBC can be an effective, supporting method in the treatment of AD.
特应性皮炎(AD)治疗中最重要的任务之一是缓解皮肤干燥和持续瘙痒,因为这些因素对患者生活质量的恶化有很大影响。冷冻疗法作为 AD 的一种新的康复形式,可以补充和支持 AD 的长期治疗过程,因为它具有抗炎和止痒作用,并对神经系统产生积极影响。
14 名成年人(平均年龄 32 ± 10.8 岁)患有轻度至中度 AD。白细胞冷冻疗法(总共 15 次治疗)于 2018/2019 年冬季进行。Courage + Khazaka Electronic GmbH 生产的探头测量患者的皮肤参数(表皮水分、皮脂水平和皮肤 pH 值)。
观察到表皮水分水平的变化。评估 AD 严重程度的 SCORAD 指数也发生了变化(降低)。
由于这些特性,提出假设白细胞冷冻疗法可以成为 AD 治疗的一种有效、辅助方法。
