title: [Sleep disorders in adolescents and youths with atopic dermatitis and its pharmacologic correction].
abstract: Clinical and actographic examinations of various sleep stages in 52 patients with atopic dermatitis have revealed a variety of sleep disturbances in the majority of cases. 56% of the examinees fell asleep with difficulty; it took them 1.5 times longer to fall asleep, vs. the normal subjects. Not deep sleep with frequent awakening at night has been recorded in 67% of the patients, and 42% did not feel rested after night sleep. The type of sleep disturbances depended on the clinical structure of mental disorders, that included asthenic (42%) and depressive (39%) disturbances with explosive, anxiety, and phobic symptoms. Patients with atopic dermatitis should be administered multiple-modality therapy carried out by a dermatologist and a psychiatrist. Besides the drugs for skin condition, psychotropic agents should be administered for 3-4 weeks. Combined therapy of neurotic disorders is most effective with tranquilizers (phenazepam, nitrazepam, radedorm or éunoktin).
