Brief Summary in Lay Language

EpiCAi (Epidemiology and Care in Acne inversa) is a project of an international consortium of experts led by the Department of Dermatology of the University Medical Center Mainz in cooperation with LENICURA GmbH.
The aim of the EpiCAi project is to combine data from the everyday care of a large number of acne inversa (hidradenitis suppurativa) patients with digital surveys.
The analysis of the questionnaires will provide new insights into patient pathways through the health care system, disease progression, recurrence frequency, trigger factors, risk factors, quality of life, effectiveness of therapies and others. The study will be able to contribute significantly to improved disease management.

Interventions/Observational Groups

  •   All patients who have agreed to the documentation of their treatment with LAight® therapy in the LENICURA software will be invited to participate in the study. This is done on the one hand by mail to the mail address provided by the patient for research purposes and on the other hand by displaying flyers at the treatment sites of the LAight® therapy and describing the project on the project website (www.epicai.de).
    After logging in to their own account, patients will be shown questionnaires. All questionnaires are displayed at t0 and some are repeated again after 3 and 6 months.
