Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Willing and able to wear two finger-worn sensors, one on each hand (on the index or middle finger), during sleep for three nights. Willing to undergo a video recording using thermal camera overnight in a controlled environment during sleep for three nights. Willing to wear the PSG system during sleep as part of the protocol during sleep for three nights. Able and willing to follow all study instructions, including completing questionnaires and attending study visits. Written informed consent signed prior to selection, included specific thermal video recording consent.

Who may be able to join

  • Male / female participant, aged 18 to 65 years inclusive. Negative pregnancy test at screening for childbearing potential women. Presence of itch-related and/or scratching-inducing conditions: documented or self-reported history of nocturnal itching and scratching, due to conditions such as:
  • Atopic dermatitis
  • Chronic pruritus of unknown origin
  • Other pruritic dermatological or systemic conditions. Expected Nocturnal Scratch activity: participants must: Have experienced Nocturnal Scratching in the past 7 days, and
  • Be considered likely to scratch during the study period, based on medical history, clinician judgment, or recent self-report

Who cannot join

  • No current or expected nocturnal itch: well-controlled conditions or no recent reports of nighttime scratching. Confounding movement disorders or sleep conditions: diagnosed restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movement disorder, moderate/severe obstructive sleep apnea, Parkinson's disease, or other conditions that may interfere with motion analysis. Recent changes in anti-pruritic treatment: Initiation or dose changes of systemic medications that may suppress nocturnal itch within the past 2 weeks, including: i. Oral corticosteroids ii. Immunosuppressive agents (e.g., cyclosporine, methotrexate) iii. Biologics (e.g., dupilumab) unless on a stable dose ≥8 weeks iv. Sedating antihistamines unless stable for ≥1 week. Topical treatment use: initiation of topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, or emollients within 3 days prior to study start, and no use during the study. Severe psychiatric or cognitive impairment that could impair the ability to consent or comply with the protocol

About this study

Official title: Observational Analytical Validation Study of the Replior ScratchSense for Nocturnal Scratching Assessment

Nocturnal scratching is a frequent and meaningful symptom in dermatological conditions such as atopic dermatitis. It may reflect underlying disease activity and can substantially disrupt overall sleep and quality of life. Existing approaches to characterizing Nocturnal Scratching-such as self-reports, sleep diaries, and video monitoring-are often subjective, labor-intensive, or lack scalability for widespread use.

Emerging wearable technologies offer an alternative, by enabling objective, continuous, and non- invasive signal related to scratch behavior during sleep.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this analytical validation study is to evaluate the characteristics of the Replior ScratchSense designed to detect and quantify Nocturnal Scratch behavior in users. This includes validating the accuracy, precision, specificity, and overall reliability of the ring's scratch detection algorithm in a controlled environment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Scratch and sleep research trackingDevice

    Replior ScratchSense finger worn sensor in detecting and characterizing nocturnal scratching through motion and contact vibration signals and collecting signals associated with sleep related movement patterns and scratch-related intensity and pressure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atopic Dermatitis and Other Pruritic Dermatological, run by Replior AB 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 5 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Christer Nilssen Study Director (+46 706956689, christer.nilsson@repiior.se), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Scratch boat measurements (time frame: From enrollment to Night 3 (Visit3)). 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 2 Nov 2026.
