Comfort gloves are used in the management of hand dermatoses.
To compare the acceptance and tolerability of comfort gloves made of different materials in patients with hand dermatoses and their effects on skin lesions.
In a prospective multicenter study, 284 patients with hand dermatoses were invited to wear either a cotton glove (COT) or a semipermeable Sympatex glove underneath a cotton glove (SYM/COT) for two subsequent phases of 19 consecutive nights each. A total of 88 controls were asked not to wear any comfort gloves overnight. The severity of skin lesions over time was examined. Questionnaires were used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and acceptance and tolerability of the gloves.
The hand dermatoses improved in all groups. No substantial intergroup differences regarding severity and HRQoL were observed. SYM/COT received better ratings regarding climate conditions and tactility while COT showed superiority in fit, wearing comfort, and practicality.
We confirmed that SYM/COT and COT are well tolerated and accepted suggesting that SYM/COT is a good alternative for COT as comfort gloves in patients with hand dermatoses. Individual requirements, needs, and preferences may direct the material choice.
舒适手套用于手部皮肤病的管理。
比较不同材料制成的舒适手套在手部皮肤病患者中的接受程度和耐受性，以及它们对皮肤病变的影响。
在一项前瞻性多中心研究中，邀请 284 名手部皮肤病患者连续两晚各佩戴棉手套（COT）或棉手套下的半透性 Sympatex 手套（SYM/COT），共进行两个连续的 19 晚阶段。共有 88 名对照组被要求整晚不戴任何舒适手套。随时间推移检查皮肤病变的严重程度。使用问卷评估与健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）以及手套的接受程度和耐受性。
所有组别的手部皮肤病均有改善。在严重程度和 HRQoL 方面，各组间无明显差异。SYM/COT 在气候条件和触感方面的评分较好，而 COT 在贴合度、佩戴舒适度和实用性方面表现更好。
我们证实 SYM/COT 和 COT 具有良好的耐受性和接受度，表明 SYM/COT 是手部皮肤病患者的舒适手套的一种良好替代选择。个人需求、需求和偏好可能会影响材料选择。
