Clinical Trial Description

Further investigations studies are needed to determine the efficacy of psychological interventions for people with hidradenitis suppurativa.

The aim of this study is to determine the benefits of group psychotherapy on quality of life for people with hidradenitis suppurativa receiving medical and surgical treatment versus a control group (awaiting group) treated with medical and surgical treatment, without psychotherapy.

This is an experimental randomized trial with control group. Quality of life, symptoms: pruritus, odor and pain, distress and the illness will be measured before and after the intervention using psychological and quality of life questionnaires, and dermatological evaluations for 120 subjects.

The investigators expect that the experimental group scores at the end of the psychotherapy program will be less than 4 points in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pruritus, odor and pain. The Dermatology Quality of Life Index (DQLI) expected to be less than 4 points from the initial score, and the patients are expected to present less than 7 points in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The experimental group scores will be less than the control group for quality of life, symptoms and distress. ;
