Abstract

Background

Short-term exercise may reduce disease activity in symptomatic dermographism (SD), but its prevalence and short- and long-term effects remain unclear and understudied. This study aims to assess the impact of both short-term and regular long-term exercise programs on disease activity in patients with SD.

Methods

We performed a short-term exercise test to assess the disease activity and the critical friction threshold (CFT) using the FricTest before (SDE1) and 10 min after (SDE2) this test on 34 SD patients. Afterward, we asked the patients to carry on a 1-month regular long-term exercise program according to the World Health Organization's physical activity recommendations. At the end of this 1-month period, we performed the short-term exercise test using the FricTest before (SDE3) and 10 min after (SDE4) the exercise test.

Results

Before a 1-month regular exercise program, 32 of 34 patients (94.1%) showed a reduction in the critical friction threshold after the short-term exercise test (SDE1; 1.95 ± 0.88 vs. SDE2; 0.81 ± 0.86). After a 1-month regular exercise program, 29 of 34 patients (85%) showed a reduction in SD symptoms with short-term exercise test and the FricTest scores were significantly decreased (SDE3; 1.57 ± 0.80 vs. SDE4; 1.01 ± 0.83). After the 1-month regular exercise program, a statistically significant increase was seen in the patients’ UCT scores and quality of life.

Conclusions

Our findings show that short-term exercise improves SD symptoms, while long-term regular exercise programs reduce disease symptoms and improve UCT scores and quality of life.

体育锻炼改善皮肤症状

背景：短期运动可以降低症状性人口统计学（SD）患者的疾病活动性，但其流行程度和短期和长期影响尚不清楚，研究不足。本研究旨在评估短期和定期长期运动计划对SD患者疾病活动的影响。方法对34例SD患者进行短期运动试验，在SDE1试验前和SDE2试验后10 min采用FricTest评估疾病活动性和临界摩擦阈值（CFT）。之后，我们要求患者按照世界卫生组织的体育活动建议进行为期1个月的定期长期锻炼计划。在这1个月结束时，我们在运动测试前（SDE3）和运动测试后（SDE4） 10分钟使用FricTest进行短期运动测试。结果在进行1个月的常规运动计划之前，34例患者中有32例（94.1%）在短期运动试验(SDE1；1.95±0.88 vs. SDE2；0.81±0.86)。经过1个月的常规运动计划，34例患者中有29例（85%）在短期运动测试中显示SD症状减轻，并且FricTest分数显着降低(SDE3；1.57±0.80 vs. SDE4；1.01±0.83)。经过1个月的定期锻炼计划，患者的UCT评分和生活质量有统计学上的显著提高。我们的研究结果表明，短期运动可以改善SD症状，而长期有规律的运动可以减少疾病症状，提高UCT评分和生活质量。
