Insomnia in patients with urticaria and atopic dermatitis

Insomnia affects a considerable number (10-20%) of people worldwide. Many primary clinical diseases may underlie the occurrence of these symptoms. Among them may be atopic dermatitis (AD) and chronic spontaneous urticarial (CSU). A causal relationship between these two pathological conditions has not yet been established. We were tasked with studying the relationship between sleep disorders, AD and CSU, and determining the feasibility of adding this risk factor to the previous two (anxiety and depression) to increase their combined predictive power. The study was conducted in 2020-2021 years. at the clinics of TSMU. The study included 180 patients (men 56, women 124) suffering from AD (74) and CSU (106); we could reject the null hypothesis of an association between sleep disturbances and AD and CSU. It was found that individuals with atopic dermatitis and chronic urticaria had significant sleep disturbances compared with the control group. Therefore, we consider it reasonable to conduct additional repeated studies on more homogeneous scientific groups.
