ABSTRACT

Introduction: atopic dermatitis (AD) is a disease on the rise, although its etiology is not known accurately to establish the specific therapy. interest in the use of magnet therapy is based on its regulatory action of cellular functions that can normalize the disorders caused by AD.
Objetive: to demonstrate the usefulness of magnetic therapy in improving symptoms and signs of AD.
Material an Methods: was performed longitudinal quasi-experimental study in 45 patients with clinical and histological diagnosis of AD. Magnet was applied directly into the lesion for 30 treatment sessions (50 Hz, 100 %) for 10 min, Monday through Friday. We evaluated the symptoms and signs weekly.
Results: we obtained complete regression of lesions in 57 % of cases, while in 22.2 % moderate regression was observed, demonstrating that the use of magnet therapy in patients with the diagnosis of AD.
Conclusions: symptoms and signs in most patients was reduced or disappear.
