[Long-term study "Neurodermatitis therapy using urea-containing Externa"].
A long-term study on the therapy of atopic dermatitis with topical urea agents was conducted by over 400 practising dermatologists and pediatricians in Western Germany from March 1989 to March 1991. 1905 patients of all ages who had a baseline diagnosis of acute exacerbation of their neurodermatic skin condition were entered into this open, uncontrolled, multicenter study. Acute attacks were treated with a combination of hydrocortisone and urea. Once the acute symptoms had subsided, therapy was continued with a 10% urea ointment. Over the 12-month observational period, a total of 84% of the patients were exclusively treated with the two trial preparations and only 16% additionally required other corticosteroids.
