About this study

Official title: Atopic Dermatitis Cutaneous Discomfort of the Infant Under the Age of One Year : Analysis of Filmed Sequences

Analysis of filmed sequences for the assessment of discomfort in atopic dermatitis in infants under 1year of age

Read the detailed description

Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory and itchy dermatitis particularly common in childhood since it affects about 20% of the pediatric population, with revelation usually around the age of 3-6 months of life. However, there are very few pediatric population data on the prevalence of pruritus and associated discomfort in infants. Although the skin and the nervous system of the infant (<6 months) are competent in the experiment of the pruritus, the acquisition of an intentional motricity allowing the targeted scratching of the affected body areas is done only from the age of 6 months, making it difficult to diagnose the intensity of the AD and assess the potential discomfort caused. Currently, the diagnosis and assessment of pruritus in children is based on a hetero-rating through scales, which are not at all applicable for infants under 6 months of age (population concerned by our study).

The visual scale Numeric Rating Scale, validated in adult population seems to be the one that most accurately assesses the severity of pruritus. In pediatric populations, the use of the Eppendorf Itch Questionnaire and the US version of the Childhood Atopic Dermatitis Impact Scale are recommended. Alternatives to the clinical and subjective rating of the severity of pruritus have been described via actigraphy: thus, a strong statistical correlation has been demonstrated between a nocturnal measurement of wrist motor activity as a reflection of the intensity of pruritus, and the analysis of videos filmed in infra-red. But, again, the technique is not suitable for young infants, because of the absence of voluntary motivated motor skills, and because of less organized sleep / wake cycles.

In order to better manage infants less than 1 year old, the analysis of their behavior in case of atopic dermatitis seems necessary to us to better identify a potential discomfort in these patients.

This is an essential preliminary study that will allow us to better define the judgment criteria necessary for the implementation of an observational study comparing infants with atopic dermatitis to healthy infants.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Focal sampling and Scan sampling of the behaviors

    Frequency of behaviors observed by the method of "focal sampling" and "scan sampling".

    All behavioral responses of the infants will be quantified from the video recordings.

    Measured: 6 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Frequency of behaviors according to the severity of atopic dermatitis

    Frequency of focal sampling behaviors according to the severity of atopic dermatitis evaluated using SCORAD score All behavioral responses of the infants will be quantified from the video recordings.

    Measured: 6 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atopic Dermatitis, run by University Hospital, Brest at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Focal sampling and Scan sampling of the behaviors (time frame: 6 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Aug 2024.
