Sodium in the skin and eczema study
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at sodium levels in the skin of older adults with eczema. It uses an MRI scan to measure sodium and may help us understand how sodium affects eczema severity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether adding or reducing salt in your diet changes the severity of eczema. You will have an MRI to look at your skin and may be asked to take sodium tablets temporarily.
This study looks at how eczema may be connected to the brain and sleep, using questionnaires and MRI scans. It may help researchers understand what drives symptoms and how treatments could be improved.
This study uses special imaging to look at the structure of skin, comparing people with eczema (who have used steroid creams) to healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how the skin changes with eczema and its treatment.
This study tests whether a specific diet can help manage mild to moderate eczema. It involves eating whole foods provided by the researchers for a set period and tracking your skin health.
This study looks at why disease tends to be more severe in some people with atopic dermatitis (eczema), especially those with a specific genetic change in the IL-4 receptor (IL-4Ra). The results may help explain what drives flare-ups and could guide better treatments in the future.
This Phase 2 study tests different treatments for atopic dermatitis (eczema) by looking at changes in skin health. It may help people find safer, more effective ways to control moderate to severe eczema and related skin infections.
