Atopic dermatitis: Recommendations for environmental modifications

There is little data to support using house dust mite covers to manage AD in patients who are sensitized to dust mites.

There is a lack of clinical studies to support using specific laundering techniques in the management of AD.

There is insufficient evidence to support using special clothing fabrics in the management of AD.

There are conflicting studies on the use of sublingual immunotherapy and injection immunotherapy in the treatment of AD.

There is limited evidence to support the use of Chinese herbal therapy and massage therapy for AD treatment.

There is insufficient evidence to support the use of aromatherapy, naturopathy, hypnotherapy, acupressure, or autologous blood injections for AD treatment or management.
