NCT ID: NCT05992493 Recruiting - Atopic Dermatitis Clinical Trials

The Role of Human Milk Oligosaccharides and Microbiomes on Infantile Colic and Atopic Dermatitis in Term Infants

Start date: August 7, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background: Human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) and microbiota are both key factors for infants to shape the gut flora and develop the immune system. Breastfed infant is beneficial to prevent the occurrence of infantile colic (IC) and atopic dermatitis (AD), which may through shaping a healthy microbiota. However, the gut microbiota biomarkers representing IC and AD have not yet been discovered. In addition, the effectiveness of supplement of HMO in infant formula reduce the incidence of IC and AD in infants is still debate.

NCT ID: NCT03360253 Recruiting - Infantile Colic Clinical Trials

Clinical Trial of L. Reuteri in Infantile Colic 2017

Colic2017
Start date: January 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

RCT to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 to significantly reduce the duration of crying time and fussines in infants from 15days to 4 months of age with colic, feed with human milk (30% sample) or infant formula (70%)

NCT ID: NCT02695784 Recruiting - Microbiota Clinical Trials

Probiotics After Discharge

PAD
Start date: September 1, 2017
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The influence of the preterm gut microbiota in health and disease has been well established. However, relatively little is known about how the microbiome changes after discharge and its relationship with growth, health and disease outcomes in the preterm population. This study aims to follow a cohort of preterm infants and explore the relationship of the later microbiome ('after discharge') with later growth and health outcomes in infancy. The study will also explore the effect of timing of stopping routinely administered probiotics on the post-discharge microbiome, infant feeding and outcomes such as colic. The investigators aim to longitudinally follow 40 infants born before 32 weeks gestation who have also taken part in the investigators microbiome study during their NICU stay (SERVIS REC No: 10/H0908/39) and where microbiomic sampling has been adequately achieved. The investigators will collect stool at and beyond the time of anticipated discharge (beyond 34 weeks) targeted to include pre- and post-weaning, and again at a year. Actual discharge timing of these infants varies, and is usually latest in the most immature infants, allowing an assessment of the influence of physical location (NICU vs home) as well as increasing age. Using 16S ribosomal RNA amplicon analysis, the investigators will assess bacterial colonisation of the gut and measure infant weight, length and head circumference at each time point. The investigators will use a parent questionnaire to assess daily crying time, parents' perceptions of colic severity using a visual analogue scale as well as vomiting and constipation for the two weeks before sampling.

NCT ID: NCT02511171 Recruiting - Infantile Colic Clinical Trials

Parental Blinding in Clinical Trials of Osteopathy

Start date: June 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this research is to assess the acceptability of using a mobile folding screen for blinding parents of infant study participants in clinical trials of osteopathic interventions. The preliminary data of this acceptability study will inform future randomized controlled trials with infant participants where parental blinding is required. 30 excessively crying infants will be randomly allocated to 2 groups, one group receives osteopathic intervention, the other group does not receive treatment. All infants are treated (or not) behind a mobile folding screen, so that parents are not aware of group allocation. After a 'treatment' period of 20 min, the screen is removed, and parents are asked to fill in an acceptability and blinding success questionnaire.

NCT ID: NCT01942928 Recruiting - Infantile Colic Clinical Trials

Cranial Osteopathy in Infantile Colic

Start date: June 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background Excessive Crying (Infantile Colic) is one of the most common complaints for which parents seek treatment. These otherwise healthy and well fed infants show no signs of failure to thrive, cry without identifiable cause, fuss a lot and are hard-to-soothe. Objective To explore the feasibility of running a Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) that investigates the effectiveness of cranial osteopathy in addition to usual National Health Service (NHS) care in infants with colic. Methods Pragmatic randomised controlled trial, involving United Kingdom (UK) osteopaths in private practice and NHS health visitors. Parents of 60 excessively crying infants/infants with colic will be recruited by NHS health visitors. Infants will be included into the study if they are healthy (full-term) and aged 1-7 weeks, diagnosed with excessive crying/infantile colic, and have no co-morbidities. Participants will be randomised into the usual NHS care group or the usual NHS care plus cranial osteopathic intervention group. Usual NHS care will be provided by health visitors and osteopathic treatment will be carried out by experienced osteopaths in private practice. Primary outcome measures are acceptability and feasibility of intervention procedures. Furthermore, changes in the frequency and duration of crying will be documented in a daily crying diary. Parental quality of life will also be assessed. This pilot investigation will provide useful information in order to further develop and adapt the current interventions and trial procedures with a view to a full-scale randomised controlled trial.

NCT ID: NCT00893711 Recruiting - Infantile Colic Clinical Trials

Lactobacillus Reuteri Versus Placebo in the Treatment and Prevention of Infantile Colic

Start date: March 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is: - to study the intestinal microflora of colicky infants before and after L. reuteri or placebo administration, evaluating the effect of Lactobacillus reuteri on the growth of the main intestinal microbiota (coliforms, Clostridium butyricum, Lactobacilli, Bifidobacteria) with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique or with Real-Time PCR Taqman; Further, the global intestinal microflora composition, using large-scale DNA sequencing of 16S rRNA genes ( 454-pyrosequencing technique. - to evaluate the improvement of colicky symptoms by the oral administration of Lactobacillus reuteri (primary outcome: reduction of the daily average crying time from baseline to the end of the treatment period, to less than 3 hours a day, the cut-off proposed by Wessel; secondary outcome: number of responders versus non-responders in each group at the end of the treatment). - to evaluate fecal calprotectin values at the beginning and at the end of the study. BÜHLMANN Quantum Blue® Calprotectin High Range (Schönenbuch, Switzerland). A quantitative immunoassay. - to evaluate Th17/Treg balance at time 0 and t 30 ( days) investigating mRNA FOXP3 and RORĪ³ in peripheral blood using RT-PCR Real Time Taqman. - the measurement of the expression level of CC-chemokine receptor 7 messenger RNA using the real-time TaqMan reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method. - the measurement of expression of interleukin 10 (IL-10) messenger RNA using the real-time TaqMan reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method. - Parental satisfaction at the end of the study period ( 30 day ) with a numerc scale from 1 to 10.
