Background : Recently the number of atopic dermatitis patients has increased, but the treatment of atopic dermatitis is not effective, and the recurrence rate of atopic dermatitis is high. Many patients are suffering from pruritus. A new standard treatment system is needed. Objective : This study investigated the effect of Oriental medicine program for atopic dermatitis patients during short term hospitalization. Method : 6 patients were admitted for short term hospitalization program. The program includes Acupuncture, herbal medicine, examination, education, cupping therapy, herbal dressing, exercise and etc. Everyday we evaluated the patients by Severity Scoring Atopic Dermatitis(SCORAD) index and took the photos of lesions, and the patients evaluated themselves by atopic dermatitis diary which consists of emotion, pruritus, sleep loss. Results : Admission duration was 7 to 14 days. The SCORAD scores of them were decreased. Most symptoms of 6 patients were improved. Especially herbal dressing was effective for severe oozing. Subjective scores of atopic dermatitis diary were reduced. Conclusion : We expect that the short term hospitalization program could be helpful for uncontrollable atopic dermatitis patients.
