RESUMEN

Atopic dermatitis (AD) has been clinically well-known to be frequently exacerbated by psychological and physiological stress. In this study, we examined effects of sedative odorant (modified valerian oil) inhalation on patients with AD. We investigated clinical scores, skin physiological parameters and psychological questionnaire (POMS) every 2 weeks. For first 2 weeks, we arranged non-inhalation period. Results for non-inhalation period were compared with these of 2- or 4-week inhalation. As results, sum of skin clinical scores significantly improved after odorant inhalation. Some patients improved for non-inhalation period, too. However, patients that had not improved for non-inhalation period significantly improved after odorant inhalation. Skin conductance and skin dryness/scaling score also improved after odorant inhalation without improving for non-inhalation period. Psychological parameter (POMS) also tended to improve after odorant inhalation. These results suggest that sedative odorants may be useful as a complementary therapy for AD through psychosomatic stress care.
