Abstract
Patients [33] with dyshidrotic eczema were trained either to decrease or to increase the electrical conductivity of the skin. Skin conductance is related to epidermal water content and emotional variables, both of which have suggested links to eczema. Subjects trained to decrease skin conductance showed clinical improvement more often than the controls who were trained in the opposite direction. They showed a significant decrease in measured conductance and anxiety. The controls showed increased anxiety and no significant changes in skin conductance level.
