[Digital health applications in psychotherapeutic care in dermatology?-Overview of offers, opportunities, and challenges].
Review in Dermatologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis, acne, or atopic dermatitis are frequently associated with psychological comorbidities including depression, anxiety disorders, or sleep disturbances. These burdens are clinically relevant and have a significant impact on both the course of the disease and patients' quality of life. However, access to psychotherapeutic care is often hindered by long waiting times and a lack of established structures within standard dermatological care. The integration of digital interventions therefore appears both important and promising. The aim of this work is to provide a structured overview of currently available digital health applications (DiGAs) that are relevant for managing psychological and behavioral concomitant issues in dermatology, and to critically appraise their opportunities and challenges in clinical use. The data source was the official DiGA directory maintained by BfArM (cut-off: May 2025). Following a complete screening, 31 applications were identified based on predefined criteria: patient-guided, and theoretically grounded interventions targeting depression, anxiety, sleep, stress/burnout, substance use, eating disorders/obesity, or pain. These were categorized by indication (ICD-10), therapeutic approach, platform, intended duration of use, and availability of contact/support elements. Opportunities for implementation and integration into routine dermatological care, as well as remaining challenges, are discussed.
