Introduction: Taking into account the influence of the psycho-emotional sphere and its disorders on the pathogenetic mechanisms of rosacea, a comparative assessment of the clinical efficacy of a standard therapy and the complex therapy using Cortexin in papulopustular rosacea patients with moderate severity and concomitant neurological pathology was performed. The therapy influence on changes in the patients’ psycho-emotional state was also studied.

Materials and methods: The study involved 216 papulopustular rosacea outpatients with moderate severity with a concomitant neurological pathology, aged 20 to 60 years. The patients were divided into 2 groups: 109 people (37 men and 72 women) in the study group, and 107 people (37 men and 70 women) in the control. All the patients received a treatment according to the ”Standard of Medical Care for Patients with Rosacea” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The study group patients additionally received Cortexin. The study was carried out using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire.

Results and discussion: The patients showed an increase in somatic manifestations of anxiety, levels of trait and state anxiety, and neuroticism initially before the start of treatment. The inclusion of Cortexin in the rosacea treatment re­duced the somatic manifestations of anxiety more effectively than standard therapy against the background of a more considerable decrease in proportion of patients with its moderate and high levels. The severity of trait and stateanxiety, neuroticism was also significantly lower against the background of the Cortexin use than with the standard treatment.

Conclusion: The Cortexin inclusion in the rosacea pharmacotherapy against the background of a concomitant neu­rological pathology contributes to a more pronounced correction of psychophysiological parameters, reflecting the neuroticism levels, trait and state anxiety, and somatic manifestations of anxiety, compared to standard treatment.
