Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis"

This is a single-center, exploratory comparative pilot study to identify the most appropriate method for microbial consortia sampling from the skin. Ten subjects are expected to complete the study at one investigative site in the United States. The study will consist of 2 visits, Visit 1 (Screening), Visit 2 (Sampling). At Visit 1, subjects will be consented and have their eligibility reviewed. Visit 1 and Visit 2 may be combined into one visit. Visit 1 will involve the informed consent process, screening, and enrollment. Visit 2 will involve sampling of eight (8) test sites on the back with three (3) different sampling methods: swabbing (2 sites/method), cup scrub (2 sites/method), and tape stripping (4 sites/method). All samples will be returned to Kimberly Clark then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

The aim of this study is to examine alterations in the skin microbiome that occur during radiation therapy. The study design will examine changes secondary to ionizing radiation, and correlate these changes with the development and severity of radiation dermatitis. The goal is to improve understanding of the mechanism of radiation dermatitis.

The investigators will evaluate sensitization to animal allergens and allergic symptom during contacting animal allergens in Korean veterinary researchers who attend their annual conference. The investigators will compare sensitization to animal allergen and other clinical and occupational factors between subjects who suffer from allergic symptom during contacting animal and those who do not.

This study series consists of four related studies and aims to explore and describe many important elements of alopecia areata over three key areas: (1) the current epidemiology of alopecia areata, (2) the prevalence and incidence of psychiatric co-morbidities in people with alopecia areata, (3) the prevalence and incidence of autoimmune and atopic conditions in people with alopecia areata, and (4) the incidence of common infections in people with alopecia areata.

This study aims to investigate the incidence of venous thromboembolism in people who are diagnosed with atopic dermatitis.

The purpose of this research is to better understand how wrist-worn study devices that measure activity/motion ('accelerometry devices') can be used to assess scratching and sleep in participants aged 12-75 years, with and without Atopic Dermatitis (AD, eczema), in both a sleep laboratory (hotel) setting and in a daily life/home setting. In this study, we will be using three different wrist devices to collect information: an Apple Watch Series 7, an Actigraph CentrePoint Insights Watch (CPIW) and a GENEActiv Original Watch. We will also compare the movement and sleep measurements recorded on the devices to thermal video and sleep assessments done in the sleep laboratory (hotel) as well as compare them to Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) assessments.

Single center, analyst-blinded, study comparing the scratching events identified via an actigraphy scoring algorithm versus manual scoring of an overnight video recording, undertaken in a sample of 40 adult patients with atopic dermatitis and controls.

This is a GWAS study that aims to identify possible candidate genes associate to atopic dermatitisby exploring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in a group of atopic dermatitis, in the Kazakh population. The investigators hypothesize that the careful phenotyping of the subject sand matching with increase the power to find SNP significantly associate with atopic dermatitis

Acute radiation dermatitis (ARD) is almost universally experienced by patients with cancer during or after radiation therapy. This condition potebtxallt leads to detrimental clinical outcomes as it adversely affects adherence to prescribed subsequent management and further worsens quality of life. Nevertheless, there remains no consensus on the appropriate intervention for ARD. This pilot two parallel-group randomized trial aims to clinically assess the potential of bacterial cellulose-monolaurin hydrogel, compared to placebo cream, to prevent high-grade ARD among Filipinos with breast cancer up to four weeks after last radiotherapy session.

The purpose of the study is to determine if any of Mother's Choice' all-natural personal-care products cause either irritation or allergic reaction when applied to both normal or sensitive skin. Each product will be tested on the skin using patch tests.
