Effect of taurine on clinical and electromyographic rates in patient with eczema

Objective. The work objective is to assess the clinical efficacy of taurine in comparison with traditional treatment mode in patients with true eczema. Materials and Methods. The study enrolled 40 patients with eczema. Traditional treatment mode was administered to 20 patients. Taurine in the course of traditional treatment was administered to other 20 patients. The disease severity was assessed by EASI (Eczema Area Severity Index). The electromyographic investigation included terminal latency measurements and conduction velocities in both the median sensory and ulnar sensory nerves. Results. Trial results show that in patients with eczema symptom intensity and some electromyographic indices usually correlate. Patients treated with taurine in the course of traditional treatment demonstrated earlier and more obvious regress of both clinical symptoms and electromyographic indices. Conclusion. The administration of taurine into complex treatment of eczema made it possible to increase the clinical treatment efficacy of this dermatosis.
