Conventional treatments, including antihistamines, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive therapies, may prove ineffective, leading to the need for alternative treatment approaches. Innovative methods such as general aerocryotherapy, in which cold air is applied to the skin site, have attracted much attention. It is believed to work through vasoconstriction, inhibition of mediator release from mast cells, and modulation of sensory nerve impulses, ultimately reducing inflammation and itching. Early research has revealed positive signs that aerocryotherapy could help reduce the itch intensity and inflammation in individuals with a range of skin disorders. In the present systematic literature review, the use of general aerocryotherapy as an additional treatment approach for chronic spontaneous urticaria and prurigo will be explored in terms of contribution to reduction in symptoms and the quality of life of a patient. Finally, we summarize clinical evidence from clinical trials, review the rationale of aerocryotherapy in terms of pathophysiology, and list the therapeutic strategies for its application in the practice of dermatology. Further studies are needed to refine aerocryotherapy treatment regimens and investigate its long-term effects, particularly in post-traumatic chronic wounds and other skin diseases.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Хроническая спонтанная крапивница и пруриго ― инвалидизирующие кожные заболевания, характеризуемые стойким зудом и воспалением, что часто приводит к существенному снижению качества жизни. Традиционные методы лечения, включая антигистаминные препараты, кортикостероиды и иммуносупрессивную терапию, могут быть неэффективны, что обусловливает необходимость альтернативных вариантов терапии. В последнее время существенный интерес вызывают инновационные методы, такие как общая аэрокриотерапия, подразумевающая воздействие холодного воздуха на кожный покров. Предполагаемые механизмы действия общей аэрокриотерапии включают сужение сосудов, замедление высвобождения медиаторов из тучных клеток и модуляцию импульсов чувствительных нейронов, что обеспечивает снижение выраженности воспаления и зуда. Согласно результатам ранних исследований, аэрокриотерапия может снижать выраженность зуда и воспаления у пациентов с различными кожными заболеваниями.</p> <p>В данном систематическом обзоре литературы рассматривается применение общей аэрокриотерапии в качестве дополнительного метода лечения хронической спонтанной крапивницы и пруриго с точки зрения снижения выраженности симптомов и улучшения качества жизни. Кроме того, в обзоре обобщены результаты клинических исследований, представлено патофизиологическое обоснование применения аэрокриотерапии и стратегии её терапевтического использования в клинической дерматологии.</p> <p>Необходимы дальнейшие исследования с целью усовершенствовать схемы аэрокриотерапии и оценить её долгосрочные эффекты, в частности при лечении посттравматических хронических ран и других кожных заболеваний.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>itching</kwd><kwd>atopic dermatitis</kwd><kwd>eczema</kwd><kwd>urticaria</kwd><kwd>prurigo</kwd><kwd>psoriasis</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>зуд</kwd><kwd>атопический дерматит</kwd><kwd>экзема</kwd><kwd>крапивница</kwd><kwd>пруриго</kwd><kwd>псориаз</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Agarwal S, Doan S, Srinivasan B, et al.
