Desire for Alternative Treatment Options in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis in Japan: Results of a Web-Based Cross-Sectional Study (AD-JOIN Study).

A high proportion of Japanese patients with AD being treated with TCS had a desire for alternative treatment options. The desire was greatly affected by patients' satisfaction with their current treatment and perception of disease severity. These findings highlight the importance of assessing patients' satisfaction or perception of disease severity, and facilitating early discussions between patient and doctor on their available treatment options, including new treatment options.
