Resumen
Resumen: La dermatitis atópica es una dermatosis pruriginosa crónica, cuya prevalencia se ha triplicado en los países industrializados durante las últimas tres décadas. La forma de manifestación y tiempo de evolución de esta patología se ha relacionado con un deterioro en la calidad de vida de los pacientes y su familia. Objetivos: Evaluar los efectos y resultados del tratamiento homeopático como manejo complementario o alternativo en la calidad de vida del paciente pediátrico con dermatitis atópica. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda crítica de literatura en las siguientes bases de datos PUBMED, MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCIENCE DIRECT, SPRINGERLINK y OVID- JOURNAL, utilizando las palabras claves: Homeopatía, dermatitis atópica, calidad de vida, pacientes pediátricos. Resultados: Revisión de estudios de cohorte multicéntrico prospectivo, estudio de observación clínica, y estudio observacional prospectivo de Europa y América latina sobre los efectos del tratamiento homeopático individualizado en la calidad de vida del paciente con dermatitis atópica. Conclusiones: La homeopatía como tratamiento alternativo o complementario en el paciente pediátrico con dermatitis atópica, ha mostrado una mejoría significativa de los síntomas asociados a esta afección mórbida y su repercusión en el estado general del paciente tanto anímico, afectivo y social y por ende la mejoría en la calidad de vida de sus familiares también. En los estudios al comparar tratamiento convencional y homeopatía, no se encuentra diferencias significativas en los resultados, esto demuestra la eficacia del tratamiento homeopático, no efecto placebo, y sin efectos adversos.
Abstract. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic pruritic dermatosis, whose prevalence has tripled in industrialized countries over the past three decades. The form of appearance and duration of this disease has been linked to deterioration in the quality of life of patients and their families. Objectives: To evaluate the effects and results of homeopathic treatment as complementary or alternative management on the quality of life of pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis. Methods: We performed a literature critical search in the following databases PUBMED, MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCIENCE DIRECT, SPRINGERLINK and OVIDJOURNAL, using the keywords: Homeopathy, atopic dermatitis, quality of life, pediatric patients. Results: Review of prospective multicenter cohort studies, clinical observational study, and prospective observational study in Europe and Latin America on the effects of individualized homeopathic treatment on quality of life of patients with atopic dermatitis. Conclusions: Homeopathy as alternative or complementary treatment in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis has shown a significant improvement in the symptoms associated with this disease and their effects on overall, mood, emotional and social condition, and therefore improvement in the quality of life for their families too. In studies comparing conventional treatment and homeopathy treatment is no significant difference in the results, this demonstrates the efficacy of homeopathic treatment, no placebo effect, and no adverse effects
