	Sports Activities as an aid in the treatment of Patients with Neurodermatitis by Prof. Dr. Otto Hornstein, Dr. Bernd Salzer, Dermatologische Universitäts-Klinik Universität Erlangen 01/91 - 12/92
Abstract	Patients with severe atopic eczema were divided into two groups, one group undergoing sports activities, the other as untreated control group. All patients were tested with regard to particular neurovascular skin reactivity including examinations of thermoregulation, dermographism, and cutaneous microcirculation before and after defined stimuli. Those patients, who underwent sports therapy showed almost normalized thermoregulatory response to warmth as well as improved hyperaemia to local heating, whereas the controlgroup failed to do so. The findings lend support to the hypothesis that the origin and severity of Neurodermatitis is influenced by intrinsic dysregulations of the cutaneous neurovascular system which can be improved by regular physical exercise.
