Biofeedback training in the therapy of dyshidrosis.

Abstract
Biofeedback training for hand warming and relaxation was used with five patients with severe dyshidrotic eczema who were poorly responsive to conventional therapy. Improvement was seen in all five patients, especially those who most noted flaring of their disease under stress. Biofeedback is being used in the treatment of diverse stress-related disorders, and may have potential in dermatologic diseases.
