Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis"

The purpose of this study is to determine if an asynchronous online model of teledermatology can achieve similar clinical outcomes as compared to conventional in-office care for the management of atopic dermatitis. The investigators also aim to determine the effects of this online care model on patient quality of life as well as patient and physician satisfaction. The investigators' hypotheses include the following: Compared to in-person visits, the online care model will result in similar clinical improvement in atopic dermatitis disease severity. Compared to in-person visits, the online care model will result in similar improvements in quality of life. Providers and subjects in the online group will achieve a similar level of overall satisfaction as those in the in-person group.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin. AD is very frequent, and involves T lymphocytes cells. Measles vaccination, as well as measles vaccine, induces a temporary immunosuppression; furthermore, an improvement of AD has been observed during measles infection. This trial is aimed at demonstrating that measles vaccine is able to create an immunomodulation and to improve AD symptoms. 30 adult patients of both sexes with moderate to severe AD will be randomly assigned to measles vaccine (ROUVAX ®), or placebo (vehicle) and follow-up for 45 days. The primary outcome is the effect of anti-measles vaccination on the T cell responses in patients; Other outcomes include: clinical evolution of AD, as measured by the SCORAD, the evolution of blood level of measles specific IgE and antibodies; evolution of other biomarkers and phenotypic characteristics of T lymphocytes.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a skin disorder in which people often have swelling and skin infections. People with this disease cannot receive the smallpox vaccine because it could cause them to have a fatal reaction known as eczema vaccinatum (EV). Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) is a protein that can be used to deliver vaccines to the body. The purpose of this study is to determine a baseline immune reaction to KLH in people without AD. Once this has been established, other studies can be designed to determine whether KLH can be used to give vaccines to people with AD.

The objective of this clinical study is to assess the irritation and sensitisation potential of HAT1 topical products after repeated patch applications to healthy human participants by following conventional Repeated Insult (HRIPT), Cumulative Irritation (CIT), and Phototoxicity (PT) methodologies under the supervision of dermatologists.

Many clinical studies have shown the benefit of music therapy in various pathologies, including pain, and it is now established that the latter has a complementary therapeutic interest. Its most frequently identified indications are the fight against acute or chronic pains, the reduction of anxiety, depression and stress, as well as memory disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. The main modes of action of music therapy involve sensory, cognitive, psychological and behavioral processes that are also found in pruritus. Pruritus is defined as "an uncomfortable sensation causing the need to scratch. It has similarities with pain but also differences: relief by heat / cold, scratching / withdrawal behavior, localization on the skin, semi-mucous / ubiquitous ... etc. The pathophysiology also has similarities, pruritus is born at the dermal-epidermal junction at the level of specific cutaneous receptors then follows the classical pathways through a 1st neuron, then the dorsal horn of the spinal cord and a second neuron. At the cerebral level, there is no single center of pruritus but several motor and sensory areas involved. The similarities suggest that music therapy may have an interest in the management of chronic pruritus, especially since classical treatments (antihistamines, topical corticosteroids) have only partial efficacy in some dermatoses

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic disease with a high impact on patient's quality of life. Nocturnal pruritus is one of the main symptoms affecting quality of life. Treatment efficacy is generally measured by healthcare professionals during consultations with both questioning and visual examination of the lesions. Quality of Life (QoL) can also be evaluated retrospectively with the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scale. Collecting data retrospectively introduces a significant recall bias that can be addressed by collecting data in Real World (RW). Real World data collection is prospective and take place within the patient's own environment. While data collection is generally done with diaries, it has been demonstrated that smartphone and connected devices were able to produce more precise and granular data than traditional methods.

A noticeably increasing number of patients are asking for naturally based extracts and ingredients as supplementary dermatologic remedies. Patients are seeking natural and cost-effective skin care alternatives in place of prescription medications and procedures. This study will isolate the effects of oral turmeric and assess a combination tablet that includes turmeric on sebum production in healthy subjects.

Erythromycin and clindamycin are believed to have anti-inflammatory aspects. This study investigates the possible anti-inflammatory effects of erythromycin and clindamycin.

Irritant contact dermatitis induced by sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) is often used as a model for testing efficacy of various topical preparations. Aforementioned model is standardized and described in guidelines, but it is not explicitly stated where the irritation should be induced. Published clinical trials usually irritate volar aspect of forearms or upper back. Also, lower back and dorsal aspect of forearm are sometimes used. Skin parameters vary depending on anatomic location of measured skin. There is a difference in stratum corneum thickness, hydration and transepidermal water loss across different locations, including between volar forearm and upper back. Furthermore, regional difference in skin response to irritation by tape stripping and benzalkonium chloride were observed. Such differences are also possible in SLS irritation model. One study has shown higher, but not statistically significant, response of back in comparison to forearms, but it had a very small sample size (n=9). Moreover, there are regional variations of topical preparations absorption. Hydrocortisone had 1,7 times higher absorption when applied to upper back in comparison to forearms. Those variations could be explained by different corneocyte size and number of their layers between back and hands. Skin baseline properties and response to irritation seem to be dependent on anatomic position. Those differences could mean different response to treatment. Since published trials only tested efficacy of various preparations on one anatomic location, it is possible their results would be different if tested on other body parts. It could limit validity and usefulness of conducted trials. The aim of this study is to determine if there are regional differences of skin response to irritation and emollient cream treatment in irritant contact dermatitis model.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate in a randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial, whether a new food supplement containing Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 and vitamin D3 (Reuterin® D3) may improve the SCORAD in pediatric patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis
