Nocturnal eczema: review of sleep and circadian rhythms in children with atopic dermatitis and future research directions
AB Fishbein, O Vitaterna, IM Haugh, AA Bavishi… - Journal of Allergy and …, 2015 - Elsevier
Children with atopic dermatitis (AD) experience significant sleep disruption, and clinically,
the disease is noted to worsen in a circadian manner at night. Epidemiologic findings
highlight many negative consequences of AD, such as impaired linear growth, which is
uniquely related to disturbed sleep. Clinical guidelines currently recommend assessing
sleep in patients with AD as a crucial parameter of disease control with appropriate
treatment. In this review we describe our current understanding of the roles of sleep cycles …
