“…In general, itch can be induced or modified by cognitive stress perception such as fatigue, anxiety, repressed emotions as well as psychiatric diseases such as depression (144–151). Consequently, in AD, a correlation between the intensity of pruritus, scratching, mental stress factors and psychiatric conditions could be demonstrated upon experimental studies (146, 147, 152–154). Furthermore, AD patients experienced a more intensive stress‐induced pruritus in comparison to healthy persons and patients with psoriasis under equal study conditions (152).…”

Pruritus is an essential feature of atopic dermatitis (AD) andImmunobiology of the Skin, University of the diagnosis of active AD cannot be made without the history of Münster, Münster, Germany itching. Because of the high impact on life quality, most of the patients measure the severity of eczema by the intensity of pruritus rather than appearance of skin lesions. However, although pruritus is a cardinal symptom of AD, its mechanism and association with the cutaneous nervous system is not completely understood. Recently, a considerable progress has been achieved in clarifying the complex pathophysiology of pruritus in AD. As a cutaneous sensory perception, itch requires

“…Finally, mention should be made of the fact that many investigations have suggested altered psychophysiological reactivity to stress in patients with atopic dermatitis. However, this issue is beyond the scope of this article, and the interested reader is referred to a recent review on this subject [89]. …”

The possibility of a causal influence of emotional stress, especially of stressful life events, on the course of various skin diseases has long been postulated. Clinical wisdom and experience, as well as many anecdotal observations and uncontrolled case series, support this opinion. We reviewed the available evidence on the role of stressful life events in triggering or exacerbating skin diseases. The role of stressful events in vitiligo, lichen planus, acne, pemphigus and seborrhoeic dermatitis was either controversial or insufficiently explored. The role of stressful events in psoriasis, alopecia areata, atopic dermatitis and urticaria was apparently clearer. However, only a few studies met acceptable methodological standards for stress measurement. Also, few studies considered common potential confounding factors (e.g. age, duration of illness, familial factors), and no study controlled adequately for the influence of other crucial factors (e.g. discontinuation of treatment, seasonal effects). Adding that the large majority of studies were retrospective, it seems wise to conclude that only preliminary evidence has been published so far on the role of stressful life events in bringing on or worsening any dermatological disease. Further research is mandatory, either in the form of prospective studies or, more feasibly, of well-designed case-control studies with adequate statistical power. Future studies should also pay more attention to protective as well as vulnerability factors in stressful events. Further, it would be important to investigate other sources of psychological stress, such as chronic stress and everyday stress. Measuring stress appraisal, although difficult, would also be important.

Behavioral medicine is a newer approach in the management of various diseases. In the last years, special programs have been developed for atopic dermatitis, psoriasis vulgaris and other chronic skin diseases. An increase in the patient's self-control could be achieved by optimizing the patient's skills in dealing with their skin disease. The article summarizes the principles and procedures of in-patient behavioral medicine, especially the strategies employed by dermatological training groups and psychotherapeutical groups to help the patient deal with their skin disorder.
