Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Atopic Dermatitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Atopic dermatitis is a common and debilitating skin condition characterized by intense itching and chronic inflammation. Research on behavioral treatments with high accessibility is needed.

Objective

To investigate the efficacy of a highly scalable internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for adults with atopic dermatitis.

Design, setting, and participants

This randomized clinical trial from a medical university in Stockholm, Sweden, included 102 adults with atopic dermatitis, recruited from across Sweden, who received 12 weeks of internet-delivered CBT (March 29, 2017, to February 16, 2018). The first participant provided screening data on November 27, 2016, and the last 1-year follow-up assessment was conducted on June 28, 2019.
