Wraps for skin comfort in hereditary ichthyosis
Part of Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether special body wraps can reduce skin discomfort for people with hereditary ichthyosis, a condition that causes dry, scaly skin. If you have ichthyosis and are bothered by skin tightness or itching, this treatment might help you feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with hereditary ichthyosis (any type).
- Your skin has at least moderate scaling or redness (score higher than 6 out of 16).
- You rate your skin discomfort as more than 3 out of 10 (like moderate to severe).
- You have not changed any ichthyosis treatments in the last month.
- You are not allergic to any of the lotions or wraps used in the study.

This trial compares two creams to see which one improves skin barrier function and quality of life better for ichthyosis patients. You would apply either the cholesterol cream or the urea cream daily for a period to find out if one works better than the other.
This study looks at “skin and blood biomarkers,” meaning measurable signs in the body, in people with ichthyosis to better understand the condition. It may help researchers find ways to track disease activity and evaluate future treatments.
This study tests a new moisturizer called Doublebase Once, applied once daily, to see if it is safe and works well for people with ichthyosis. Participants will use the study moisturizer for one month instead of their usual one.
This trial tests if gentamicin injections can improve symptoms of hereditary ichthyosis, a genetic skin condition. It is for adults with moderate to severe forms caused by specific gene mutations.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment called enhanced external counter-pulsation (EECP) for people with atopic dermatitis or other inflammatory skin diseases that need wet-wrap therapy. EECP involves wearing cuffs on your legs that inflate and deflate to improve blood flow, and researchers want to see if it reduces skin inflammation.
This study tests a special bath system (Thera-Clean Microbubbles) to see if it helps people with certain skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, epidermolysis bullosa, or ichthyosis. It's designed for people whose skin is stable and who can follow a home bathing routine.
