Atopic dermatitis is accompanied by chronic itching and when a person begins to itch, inflammation concentrates, causing further irritation. This cycle not only worsens the condition of the skin, but also intervenes in full sleep. The new technology helps to break this vicious circle.
Scientists have tested on ten adults, a light atopic dermatitis form that suffered from moderate or strong night scanning. During the first week, the device only recorded the data and secondly – began to activate vibration while detecting movements such as scanning.
The results were hopeful. Coming frequency decreased by 28%and total time -50%. At the same time, the quality of sleep participants did not deteriorate. Most voluntary devices recorded the comfort of the device and expressed the desire to use in the future.
According to scientists, vibration helps to interrupt unconscious scanning and serve as an alternative to drug methods to combat itching. However, larger -scale research is required to verify the effectiveness of technology.
