Filter by:Conduct a clinical trial of integration of Chinese and Western medicine to evaluate whether the association of traditional Chinese medicine therapy has a remission effect on atopic dermatitis, and to explore the remission of lesions after an association of Chinese herbal medicine, and the correlation of syndrome differentiation types before and after treatment with Chinese and Western medicine, with a view to better understand the efficacy of atopic dermatitis in the treatment of the same disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and provide another option for patients with atopic dermatitis.
Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a skin condition characterized by symmetrically distributed widespread, pruritic nodules that occurs in patients with chronic pruritus. There are 2 subtypes of PN depending on the association with an atopic dermatitis (AD) : atopic PN (Besnier) and non-atopic PN (Hyde). There are no approved therapies, and treatment options currently used have limited efficacy and their long-term use carries the risk of potential severe toxic effects. The mechanisms triggering PN are still unknown. However, recent findings suggest a major role for the Th2 inflammatory pathway. Beyond advancing the basic understanding of PN pathophysiology, our study might also pave the way for developing novel Th2-targeted therapeutic strategies for PN and AD. The primary objective of this study is to characterize the transcriptional profile of the T lymphocytes isolated from skin samples from patients with PN. This study will allow a gain a deeper understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanism of PN, a better classification of its subtypes, as well as their physiopathologic link with AD. Moreover, it will help shape new effective and safe therapeutic approaches in these diseases which are important for optimal therapeutic management.
The investigators aimed to understand better the efficacy in a randomized, double-blind, intraindividual design trial in 66 participants with AD treated with SNG100, and 2 different strengths of topical steroids hydrocortisone and the medium potent mometasone furoate cream.
24-week, open-label, single-arm longitudinal study of patients with AD, including a comparison between baseline values for adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD and untreated normal control patients. Patients with AD: ≤24 to 29 weeks, including the screening period Normal control patients: ≤2 days to 5 weeks, including the screening period. Patients with AD: adults with moderate-to-severe AD whose disease cannot be adequately controlled with topical medications or for whom topical treatment is medically inadvisable (eg, intolerance, other important side effects or safety risks) Normal control patients: adults without AD or other atopic disease
This study aims to assess the cytokine profile of tears in patients suffering from conjunctivitis versus patients without ocular involvement, when treated with Dupilumab
It is a study of translational research with mechanistically objectives and including biological samples of patients with chronic inflammatory disorders
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory skin disorder that results in areas of dry, itchy skin. AD affects up to 20% of children in Western societies and represents a prevalent, burdensome, and psychologically important pediatric concern. It often appears in infancy and may persist into adolescence and adulthood. This complex disease is typified by defective skin barrier function with activation of abnormal immunological and inflammatory pathways upon exposure to ubiquitous environmental allergens. It often appears in infancy and may persist into adolescence and adulthood. This complex disease is typified by defective skin barrier function with activation of abnormal immunological and inflammatory pathways upon exposure to ubiquitous environmental allergens. This complex disease is typified by defective skin barrier function with activation of abnormal immunological and inflammatory pathways upon exposure to ubiquitous environmental allergens. This phenomenon may be primarily related to mutations in important barrier proteins, in the same fashion as filaggrin in the atopic skin, or may be secondary, reflecting the intestinal mucosal damage caused by local hypersensitivity reactions to food antigens or to microbial components as in inflammatory bowel disease. Conventional therapy for AD consists of elimination of exacerbating factors, moisturizers to maintain skin hydration, antihistamines to alleviate pruritus, topically applied corticosteroids, or topical calcineurin inhibitors to control inflammation. Severe forms of atopic dermatitis may need systemic corticosteroids, oral cyclosporine, and/or phototherapy. Probiotics have been suggested as a novel treatment approach for atopic dermatitis. Specific probiotics have been shown to normalize intestinal permeability, to counteract intestinal immune dysfunction and to normalize gut dysbiosis. Hence, their clinical benefit may reside in the control of gut inflammation induced by various intraluminal antigens and enhancement of adaptive and especially innate immune responses. Indeed, above and beyond balancing the gut microecology and promoting host immune defences, specific probiotics might further aid in controlling the microbial colonization of the skin, thereby reducing proneness to secondary infections which typically cause sustained symptoms. However, there are conflicting evidence on the utility of selected probiotic strains for atopic dermatitis, and major problems are due to dose and viability of strain used, duration of treatment, study population. The aim of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy of the most studied probiotic in the pediatric allergy field - Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) - in children affected by atopic dermatitis.
Chronic skin disease lead to skin damage and disfiguring to the patient skin. Sometimes, achieving normal skin is not possible by the normal traditional treatment, this study is focusing on use of ACE CSD formula which is mixture of natural peptides and herbs. the main aim is to restore the normal skin appearance for the patient and control the episodes of flare.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic pruritic inflammatory skin disease of unknown aetiology. Global prevalence rates range from 1%-20%.AD is often worsened by stress and anxiety.Plasma levels of 5-HT were found to be positively correlated with the disease severity.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease that occurs most commonly during early infancy and childhood. It is frequently associated with abnormalities in skin barrier function, allergen sensitization and recurrent skin infections. AD is a major public health problem worldwide, with prevalence in children of 10-20% and 2-5% of the general population. The skin of AD patients is susceptible to colonization and infection with Staphylococcus aureus (SA )which contribute significantly to the severity of the clinical manifestations of eczema, triggering a vicious cycle. Fusidic Acid (FA) cream is a topical antibiotic widely used in the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections and infected atopic dermatitis. However in recent years, the emergence of drug-resistant organisms, e.g. Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has led to scrutiny of antibiotic use. Prolonged use of topical FA has been linked with emergence of FA-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (FRSA) . Fusidic acid is a natural antibiotic, extracted from cultures of Fusidium coccineum, which has a powerful antibacterial action. Topical use of Fusidic acid is fully in line with therapeutic strategies that recommend the use of an antibiotic with the narrowest activity spectrum to minimize the risk of resistance. In AD with infected lesions, combined treatment with antibiotic and steroid demonstrates greater efficacy over the use of steroid. Trial Design: A three-center, double blind, randomized ,phase II , parallel group, efficacy trial. Type of Intervention: A triple compounded cream containing a topical antibiotic , topical steroid and moisturizer. Type of control: Active control containing a double compounded cream comprising a topical steroid and moisturizer . Study population and Setting: A sample of 78 subjects will be recruited from Red Cross Children's Hospital , Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital and King Edward Hospital Estimated duration of trial: 12 months. Duration of participation: Each subject will participate in the trial for a maximum of 140 days. Primary endpoint: reduction in SCORAD scores; frequency of clinical flares for AD and improvement in the quality of life at 140 days. The benefit of this trial is that it provides a simple and effective approach to the management of atopic eczema.
