Feasibility for Quantification of Scratch Behavior and Sleep in Children With Atopic Dermatitis

To assess the feasibility of quantifying scratch and sleep in children with Atopic Dermatitis (AD), children, age 2 to 11 years, with AD will be recruited. The subjects will complete specific questionnaires related to itch, sleeping habits and AD and continuously wear two wrist worn accelerometry devices. The EarlySense Sleep Monitor will also be placed underneath the mattress to measure additional sleep related activities.

The study will be comprised of two overnight sleep laboratory site visits. The clinic visits will be followed by a continuous ~48 hour in-home environment assessment period (defined as the subject's daily routine environment). During the sleep lab site visit, the subject and accompanying parent(s)/guardian(s) will sleep overnight at the facility. The subject will be video-recorded during the in-sleep lab visit, wear the wrist accelerometry devices, use the sleep sensor and complete assessments (Depending on age, parent/guardian may complete some assessments). Upon the completion of sleep lab activities the subjects will then continue to wear the wrist accelerometry devices, utilize the sleep sensor and complete Patient Reported Outcome/Clinical Outcome Assessments (PRO/COA) assessments during the 48 hour in-home assessment. At the conclusion of the in-home portion of the assessment, the subject will return the device/s and assessments to the facility and undergo brief assessments/interview.
