Clinical Trial Summary

The SPINDLE study will examine sleep in infants with atopic dermatitis by serial assessment over the first year of life, in comparison to infants without atopic dermatitis. Sleep will be assessed using electroencephalography, actigraphy, and sleep questionnaires.

Description:

Infants will be recruited at 6 to 8 months and followed up until 18 months of age. Sleep electroencephalography will be performed at 6 to 8 months. Sleep actigraphy will be performed at 6 to 8 months and 12 months. Infant sleep questionnaires will be completed on a monthly basis, and parental sleep questionnaires will be completed at 6 to 8 months, 9 to 10 months, and 12 months. A neurodevelopmental assessment will be performed at 18 months.
