The feasibility and safety of a novel cryotherapy device for the treatment of mild pruritis in patients with atopic dermatitis finds support in study data published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.
Chronic itch is common in atopic dermatitis, although treatment modalities are limited. Localized cooling therapies have shown efficacy in prior studies. Investigators sought to assess the efficacy of a new cryotherapy device with a temperature application range of -20℃ to 10℃.
