Clinical Trial Summary

Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are multifactorial inflammatory dermatoses, with a very high prevalence, reaching more than 120 million patients in the world. Although the physiopathological mechanisms are not yet clearly defined, these inflammatory dermatoses involve an interaction between the immune system and the epidermal cells, severe skin inflammation and often very intense pruritus. The objectives of an effective management should be to treat lesions in order to reduce them, but also to reduce itching and allow the patients to accept and cope with their pathology, without neglecting an improvement in the "Dermatology Life Quality Index" (DLQI) and in the psychological state, sometimes depressive, of the patient. Itching is defined as "a feeling that needs to be scratched urgently" and can cause significant distress along with pain. It severely impacts the quality of life and the quality of sleep. Chronic itching is associated with increased stress, anxiety, and other mood disorders. In turn, stress and anxiety exacerbate the itching, leading to a vicious cycle of pruritus - scratching that affects patient behavior (excessive scratching) and worsens disease prognosis and quality of life. Much research over the past few decades has demonstrated the effect of mindfulness meditation on emotional and cognitive responsiveness, cognitive flexibility, rumination, self-compassion and mindfulness, but also on acute pain, anxiety, stress, depression, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, cancer and cognitive loss with age. Several studies have shown the impact of mindfulness on brain function and immunity, with evidence for the association between mindfulness and changes in the levels of markers characteristic of immune system activity and inflammation, known to be increased in psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. The objective is to evaluate the effect of mental training in the regulation of stress and emotions through mindfulness meditation in patients with moderate, itchy atopic dermatitis or psoriasis, not treated with systemic agents (e.g.: biotherapies). This project is based on the premise that mental training in the regulation of stress and emotions through meditation would reduce the effects of the infernal itch-scratch cycle, alleviating pruritus, thus improving the well-being and mental health of patients while reducing their inflammatory skin lesions and limiting the appearance of new lesions.

Intervention

Other:
MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction)
MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress reduction) program : 1 weekly session of 2 hours and a half for 8 weeks, (first and last session: 3 hours) and an optional day of intensive practice of 6 hours, supervised by an MBSR instructor. In each weekly session, the instructor creates a supportive environment in which: Guided meditation practices; Mindfulness stretching and yoga; Reflection and group discussion periods aimed at promoting mindfulness in daily life; Practice instructions and opportunity to ask questions; Instructions for home practice.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Pruritus assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) VAS Pruritus scale is a scale going from 0 to 10. 0 corresponds to no pruritus et 10 to the maximum of prurit. at 8 weeks
Secondary Pruritus assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) VAS Pruritus scale is a scale going from 0 to 10. 0 corresponds to no pruritus et 10 to the maximum of prurit. at 16 weeks
Secondary Pruritus assessed by 5-D Itch Scale 5-D (5-D IQ) The 5-D itch scale is a multidimensional questionnaire. The scores of each of the domains are achieved separately and then summed together : total 5-D score can potentially range between 5 (no pruritus) and 25 (most severe pruritus). at 8 weeks
Secondary Pruritus assessed by 5-D Itch Scale 5-D (5-D IQ) The 5-D itch scale is a multidimensional questionnaire. The scores of each of the domains are achieved separately and then summed together : total 5-D score can potentially range between 5 (no pruritus) and 25 (most severe pruritus). at 16 weeks as compared to 8 weeks
Secondary Number of dermatocorticoides tubes at 8 weeks
Secondary Number of dermatocorticoides tubes at 16 weeks as compared to 8 weeks
Secondary Number of scratches per day (including nights) at 8 weeks
Secondary Number of scratches per day (including nights) at 16 weeks as compared to 8 weeks
Secondary Psorasis Area and severity index (PASI Index) for psoriasis group This score takes into account the affected skin surface, the degree of redness, the thickening of the skin and the scaling. Its ranges from 0 to 72.The higher the number, the more severe the psoriasis. at 8 weeks
Secondary Psorasis Area and severity index (PASI Index) for psoriasis group This score takes into account the affected skin surface, the degree of redness, the thickening of the skin and the scaling. Its ranges from 0 to 72.The higher the number, the more severe the psoriasis. at 16 weeks as compared to 8 weeks
Secondary SCORAD Index for atopic dermatitis The maximal score of the SCORAD Index is 103. at 8 weeks
Secondary SCORAD Index for atopic dermatitis The maximal score of the SCORAD Index is 103. at 16 weeks as compared to 8 weeks
Secondary Stress evaluation assessed by Perceived Stress Scale It is a 10 questions scale with 5 items per question. Its goes from 10 to 50. at 8 weeks
Secondary Stress evaluation assessed by Perceived Stress Scale It is a 10 questions scale with 5 items per question. Its goes from 10 to 50. at 16 weeks as compared to 8 weeks
Secondary Quantification of inflammatory stress markers in saliva Saliva stress markers will be alpha-amylase, cortisol, IL-6, IL-31 and TNF-alpha at 8 weeks
Secondary Quantification of inflammatory stress markers in saliva Saliva stress markers will be alpha-amylase, cortisol, IL-6, IL-31 and TNF-alpha at 16 weeks as compared to 8 weeks
