简要总结
Complementary and alternative medicine are increasingly used all around the world and more specifically in chronic diseases such as atopic dermatitis. Sociodemographic and disease determinants associated with their use remain unclear. Moreover, most of studies involved children and little data are available for adults.
The main objective of this study is to identify factors associated with complementary and alternative medicine use in children and adults suffering from atopic dermatitis. The secondary objectives are to determine the prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine use, the main forms used and their modalities of use, patients' motivations for using these therapies and sources of information.
Patients of all ages consulting for their atopic dermatitis at the dermatology or pediatric allergology department of Nancy University Hospital over a 6 months period will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about their pathology and their use of complementary and alternative medicine. This questionnaire will be collected before they leave the hospital.
