Belloni (UniPd) ‘con nuove terapie cambia storia dermatite atopica in adolescenti’
(Adnkronos) - L’esperta, ‘per loro avere una patologia visibile significa avere un problema sociale. Prurito e mancanza di sonno tendono inoltre a togliere la concentrazione. Per questo si chiudono e tendono a fare poca attività di gruppo. Il fatto che ci siano terapie semplici che non hanno effetti collaterali e che modificano la storia della malattia è un dato estremamente importante per farli stare meglio’

00:00Dermatitis atopic is an extremely serious inflammatory disease,
00:09both clinically and psychologically,
00:18particularly in adolescents.
00:20A new device has been released,
00:23which is a pen that reduces the supply by half,
00:30in the sense that while before there were four supplies for induction
00:35and then two supplies for maintenance,
00:39now there are two for induction and one only for maintenance.
00:44What does it mean?
00:45That obviously the boy with this pen
00:48basically gets this injection,
00:518 times a day, 15 times a month,
00:53and so he has obtained the final result,
00:57let's say, of seeing his illness under control.
01:01And therefore, also considering the psychology of the teenager,
01:05that is, his way of putting himself in the social sphere,
01:09therefore of friends and so on,
01:11having a visible pathology means having a social problem
01:17of managing friendships and therefore social relationships,
01:22not only because it is visible, but also because it is a pathology
01:26that, precisely because it is extremely pluriginous, 24 hours a day,
01:30tends to create fatigue problems in these subjects,
01:33little attention in some cases,
01:37because the pluritus, the lack of sleep,
01:39also tends to remove concentration,
01:44the impossibility precisely for demonstrations,
01:47for typical locations of atopic dermatitis,
01:50the impossibility of doing sports and therefore social activities,
01:55so they tend to be children who close themselves,
01:59little boys who close themselves, who go out unwittingly,
02:02who do group activities unwittingly,
02:05and this of course greatly reduces their quality of life.
02:09So, the fact that there are simple therapies
02:13that have no side effects,
02:15that have no consequences at a distance,
02:18that even modify the history of the disease itself,
02:23so they also modify the possible consequences,
02:26I believe it is an extremely important fact
02:30that must be conveyed as much as possible
02:32both among doctors and above all among patients, of course,
02:36in such a way that they can access treatments
02:39that can finally be better.
