ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effectiveness of 3% kanuka oil compared to 1% hydrocortisone cream in treating atopic dermatitis, a skin condition that affects many people and often causes intense itching. The goal is to see if this natural oil, which is available over-the-counter, can provide relief for those suffering from this condition.

To participate in the trial, you must be over 12 years old and have been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis for at least two years. You should also have a certain level of itchiness, measured by a simple scale. However, if you have used certain treatments like steroid creams in the past month, or if you are pregnant or nursing, you won't be eligible to join. If you do participate, you can expect to use either the kanuka oil or the hydrocortisone cream for the duration of the study and help researchers learn more about effective treatments for atopic dermatitis.
