Pages

  68-77

Abstract

 Background: AVENA SATIVA, a well-known herbal medicine; has been used in various skin diseases such as eczema, burn and pruritus.Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of this herbal medicine for treatment of CHRONIC PRURITUS in SULFUR MUSTARD (SM) exposed patients.Methods: Veterans who referred to Baghiat-Allah dermatologic clinic for itching problems were examined by a dermatologist and randomly assigned in three different groups. Group A received ointment derived from AVENA SATIVA plant, group B, placebo and group C, betamethasone 0.1% cream twice a day for 4 weeks. Twenty five patients were included in each group. A visual analogue scale were used for assessment of severity of pruritus and 2 questionnaire for quality of life and quality of sleep were filled for each patient.Results: Pruritus severity after the study by VAS method was significantly decreased in all the groups, but betamethasone group showed the largest decrease (-2.4, P<0.001). The average quality of life based on DLQI criteria and quality of sleep based on PSQI after the treatment showed the most significant difference in betamethasone group (3.52, P<0.001 and  0.96, P=0.001 respectively). Although AVENA SATIVA showed significant effect on these criteria but it was only superior to placebo and not as effective as betamethasone. Conclusion: The result demonstrated that AVENA SATIVA ointment reduced CHRONIC PRURITUS, increased quality of life and quality of sleep in patients exposed to SM but betamethasone was superior in all aspects.
