Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare Topical versus Continuous Betamethasone Diprobionate Phonophoresis in the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitic Patients Methods: Forty six patients atopic dermatitis were participated in this study and were randomly assigned to one of two groups. Phonophoresis group received continuous 0.05% betamethasone dipropionate phonophoresis, three sessions per week for 4 weeks, and control group received topical betamethasone dipropionate cream daily. Measurements were carried out by ultrasonography and SCORAD score. Results: results revealed that there was a significant difference between both groups as regard to primary outcomes ( SCORAD score) as well as secondary outcomes ( skin thickness measurements). Conclusion: it was concluded that continuous betamethasone diprobionate phonophoresis is a safe and effective modality more than topical cream for the treatment of atopic dermatitis.
Keywords: Phonophoresis, betamethasone dipropionate phonophoresis, SCORAD score, ultrasonography, Atopic dermatitis.
