Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have now evaluated its treatment with internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT). The study suggests that patients feel better after iCBT compared with a control group who received only traditional treatment. The results, which are published in JAMA Dermatology, might eventually make important care available to a large patient group. We ve carried out a promising pilot study but were still surprised at how effective internet-delivered CBT seems to be against atopic eczema, says the paper s first author Erik Hedman-Lagerlof, adjunct professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet. ICBT requires much less therapy time than the normal treatment format and has the potential to reach many patients who don t have access to a psychologist.
