The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of 2 dietary supplements (an oral prebiotic and an oral synbiotic) in combination with a topical lotion, and an unscented soap on eczema severity, various skin measures (such as skin hydration), and mood in those with eczema.

A prebiotic supplement contains ingredients that can get broken down by the bacteria in the gut.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective and Subjective Scoring of Eczema Severity

    Change in eczema severity was assessed using SCORAD (SCOring of Atopic Dermatitis). A. First, the spread of eczema on different body areas is assessed by the investigator and calculated as a percent, where the maximum is 100%. B. Second, the intensity of skin redness, swelling, oozing, scratch marks, skin thickening and dryness is scored by the investigator from 0 to 3, where 0 is none, 1 is mild, 2 is moderate, and 3 is severe. C. Finally, for the subjective score, participants are asked to report the intensity of symptoms (itch and sleeplessness) from 0 to 10, where 0 is no itch or no sleeplessness, and 10 is the worst imaginable itch or insomnia sleeplessness. The total score of the objective SCORAD is obtained with the following formula: SCORAD = A/5 + 7 B/2 + C

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Localized Eczema Severity

    Change in localized eczema severity is assessed with the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI). Skin redness, elevation, scratching, and thickening are assessed by the investigator on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 is none, 1 is mild, 2 is moderate, 3 is severe. The localized EASI is the sum of these scores.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Objective and Subjective Scoring of Eczema Severity

    Change in eczema severity was assessed using SCORAD (SCOring of Atopic Dermatitis). A. First, the spread of eczema on different body areas is assessed by the investigator and calculated as a percent, where the maximum is 100%. B. Second, the intensity of skin redness, swelling, oozing, scratch marks, skin thickening and dryness is scored by the investigator from 0 to 3, where 0 is none, 1 is mild, 2 is moderate, and 3 is severe. C. Finally, for the subjective score, participants are asked to report the intensity of symptoms (itch and sleeplessness) from 0 to 10, where 0 is no itch or no sleeplessness, and 10 is the worst imaginable itch or insomnia sleeplessness. The total score of the objective SCORAD is obtained with the following formula: SCORAD = A/5 + 7 B/2 + C

    Measured: 4 weeks

  4. Localized Eczema Severity

    Change in localized eczema severity is assessed with the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI). Skin redness, elevation, scratching, and thickening are assessed by the investigator on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 is none, 1 is mild, 2 is moderate, 3 is severe. The localized EASI is the sum of these scores.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Skin Hydration

    Change in skin hydration is assessed with a Corneometer.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Skin Hydration

    Change in skin hydration is assessed with a Corneometer.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Transepidermal Water Loss

    Change in transepidermal water loss is assessed with a Tewameter TM 300

    Measured: 4 weeks

  4. Transepidermal Water Loss

    Change in transepidermal water loss is assessed with a Tewameter TM 300

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Desquamation Index

    Change in desquamation is assessed with D-Squam®.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  6. Desquamation Index

    Change in desquamation is assessed with D-Squam®.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  7. Positive and Negative Affect

    Change in mood is assessed with the PANAS-SF (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule- Short Form). Participants are asked to evaluate the degree to which they experienced components of positive and negative affect : Interested, Distressed, Excited, Upset, Strong, Guilty, Scared, Hostile, Enthusiastic, Proud, Irritable, Alert, Ashamed, Inspired, Nervous, Determined, Attentive, Jittery, Active, and Afraid. A 5-point scale was used where 1 is very slightly or not at all, 2 is a little, 3 is moderately, 4 is quite a bit, and 5 is extremely.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  8. Positive and Negative Affect

Participants are asked to evaluate the degree to which they experienced components of positive and negative affect : Interested, Distressed, Excited, Upset, Strong, Guilty, Scared, Hostile, Enthusiastic, Proud, Irritable, Alert, Ashamed, Inspired, Nervous, Determined, Attentive, Jittery, Active, and Afraid.
