The results can improve the understanding of the complexity of LBP perception and its therapy. The generalization of the results is limited. To cover the correlation of psychosocial and lifestyle factors and pain perception of LBP, further research is required. To obtain a clearer picture of pain perception in persons with LBP, standardized pain assessment would be beneficial. In addition, we recommend that future studies follow standardized procedures to allow greater comparability.
Summary
The therapy of chronic skin diseases is challenging for both the dermatologist and the patient. Current standards of therapy and individual circumstances of the patient have to be considered. Furthermore, chronic skin diseases are often associated with comorbidities that require treatment adapted to the individual. Therefore, optimal education of the patient and a holistic concept of therapy are needed, in many cases in collaboration with various medical disciplines. In this case, rehabilitation provides an opportunity to address important aspects such as comorbidities, psychosocial burden and limitations at work, in addition to treating the underlying disease.
This article describes the differences between acute and rehabilitation health care in dermatology, and illustrates the importance of rehabilitation in dermatology, based on examples of chronic inflammatory skin diseases, chronic pruritus and dermato‐oncological diseases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
