Systematic Review of Management Approaches of Atopic Dermatitis

Abstract: Atopic dermatitis (AD) also known as atopic eczema and it is a common persistent skin disease identified by serious pruritus. It generally appears in infancy or youth and might persist into adulthood. We aimed by this systematic review study to highlight the most effective management for atopic dermatitis through evaluating the literature in this topic, and also to emphasize the proper treatment in different populations. All data sources were identified through computer-assisted searches of electronic databases of medical references, accompanied by complementary manual searches of the literature. In collaboration with a research librarian, the MEDLINE database and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched with the following key words: ‘atopic dermatitis’ and ‘eczema’ combined via the AND operator to the keyword ‘treatment options’ after all search terms had been exploded by the Medical Subjects Heading (MeSH) thesaurus. Returned results were restricted to clinical trials. Phototherapy with UVA1 is probably the most effective method for treating severe AD. An upkeep regimen of topical corticosteroids might lower regression rates in patients who have reoccurring moderate to extreme atopic dermatitis. Pimecrolimus and tacrolimus are calcineurin inhibitors that are advised as second-line treatment for individuals with moderate to serious atopic dermatitis and who are at risk of atrophy from topical corticosteroids. Keywords: Atopic dermatitis (AD), Medical Subjects Heading (MeSH).
