Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if menthol works to relieve pruritus in atopic dermatitis. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of menthol-containing gloves and foot-covers, specifically whether they can improve patient-reported Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP-NRS). Secondary objectives include assessing the Eczema Area Severity Index (EASI), the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), biochemical examinations (including white blood cell count, hemoglobin, GOT, GPT, creatinine, platelet count, and HbA1c), and exosome analysis. Participants will be asked to: Wear menthol-containing gloves and foot-covers (or shams) for 5 minutes per session, following a schedule of 5 consecutive days of use and 2 days of rest each week, over a total period of 28 days. Attend clinic visits on Days 1, 14, 28, and 42 for evaluations and tests.
