The Effects of Probiotics in Atopic Dermatitis

NCT00378300 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to study the clinical effects of taking probiotics in patients who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. There has been several studies showing improvement in the severity of atopic dermatitis after taking probiotics. The mechanism of this improvement is currently unknown. We propose that probiotics improve atopic dermatitis by stimulating, or increasing, the activity of a special type of cell called the T Regulatory cell--which can suppress the activity of allergic disease.
