Salt intake and skin sodium in inflammatory skin disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests how salt in your diet affects sodium levels in your skin and its link to inflammatory skin conditions like eczema. It may help explain why some people's skin flares up after eating salty foods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks for clues in your skin and blood that could predict how well you'll respond to treatments for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or lupus. It aims to help doctors choose the best therapy for you.
This study tests a new sensor that monitors skin inflammation using gentle vibrations. It aims to see if this sensor can track how well phototherapy (light treatment) works for eczema or psoriasis.
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 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.
This study looks at how salt affects inflammation in people with Crohn's disease. You will have blood and urine tests to measure how your body handles sodium and inflammation.
This study looks at whether playing in sand with different types of natural materials (to increase your contact with harmless microbes) can improve eczema symptoms. You would stop using your usual eczema creams during the trial to see if the sand play alone helps.
