简要总结
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin disease that has potential for profound and far-reaching effects on all aspects of children and their families lives, significantly reducing the quality of life. Atopic dermatitis typically appears in infancy and nowadays is affecting up to 10-30% of children and 2-10% of adults.
Diminished skin barrier is the essential factor that plays a role in the initiation, consolidating and exacerbating AD. Treatment options for AD typically address skin barrier protection or inflammatory components of disease. Proper care using mild and appropriately formulated emollient preparations may provide significant benefits.
In investigators prior study, more than half of pharmacy-derived emollient preparations contained potential contact haptens listed in the European baseline series (EBS), used in diagnosing contact dermatitis.
The primary aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of regularly applied emollient in an atomiser (in the form of oil-in-water emulsion) in maintenance therapy, in children presenting from mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
In this study 3 visits are planned (for a period of 4 weeks). During each visit investigators will evaluate transepidermal water loss (TEWL), capacitance of outer areas of the stratum corneum as an indirect assessment of skin hydration. Moreover, investigators will assess three-them-severityIndex and the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI).
The product that participants will use in the study, was prepared at investigators request, in collaboration with the cosmetics company, which according to investigators knowledge at present, will not be benefited from the audit. The following described study project (prospective clinical trial, uncontrolled, open-label) will be conducted within the framework of the statutory tasks of the Department of Pulmonology and Allergology of Children Medical University of Warsaw and is a non-commercial project.
详细描述
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin disease that has potential for profound and far-reaching effects on all aspects of children and their families lives, significantly reducing the quality of life. Atopic dermatitis typically appears in infancy and nowadays is affecting up to 10-30% of children and 2-10% of adults.
Diminished skin barrier is the essential factor that plays a role in the initiation, consolidating and exacerbating AD. The skin exposed to aeroallergens (pollen, pet dander, dust mites), or food allergens (eggs, milk, wheat protein, chocolate, strawberry), hard water, and soaps and detergents, loses the protective barrier composed of lipids (ie. Lipid) and becomes the victim of harmful, exogenous substances.
The main symptoms of atopic dermatitis are redness and dry skin, itching, moreover patients are susceptible to recurrent superficial skin infections. Skin lesions in AD are mostly located on the elbows and knees, face and neck, however they can spans the entire body. Treatment options for AD typically address skin barrier protection or inflammatory components of disease. Proper care using mild and appropriately formulated emollient preparations may provide significant benefits.
Previous observations indicated to be reasonable to selection carefully composition of emollient preparations. In investigators prior study, more than half of emollient preparations, available in online drugstores, contained potential contact sensitizers, included to 28, the most common, haptens listed in the European baseline series (EBS), used in diagnosing contact dermatitis. A significant number of investigated products contained at least two different haptens which may threaten unpredictable allergic reactions in the case of concomitance of various allergens.
The primary aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of regularly applied emollient in an atomiser (in the form of oil-in-water emulsion) in maintenance therapy, in children presenting from mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
时间窗: 4 weeks
Standardized measurements of evaporation percutaneous (transepidermal water loss, TEWL) and capacitance outer areas of the stratum corneum giving indirect evaluation of skin hydration will be performed by the same researcher. The tests will be carried out always at the same point of the body.
次要结局
- Change from the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI )(4 weeks)
- Change from scoring atopic dermatitis index (SCORAD Index)(4 weeks)
