Summary

This study aims to investigate the influence of psychosocial factors on Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU). Preliminary research suggests a potential link between stress and the experience of CSU symptoms. In light of these findings, our study offers a stress management intervention for individuals diagnosed with CSU.

The intervention consists of a 6-week online course designed to cultivate effective stress management techniques, referred to as 'attention-based training (ABT).' The course asks each participant to develop their own ABT practice, along with a one-hour session per week, providing techniques that participants can use to combat stressors related to their condition.
