Study Summary

This study is designed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of 3% oregano extract ointment prepared in aqueous solution versus 1% hydrocortisone ointment, a standard treatment, in decreasing the inflammation associated with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. We plan to recruit 40 patients on the ages comprised between 2 and 17 years old and the study duration for each of the patient is 1 month.

Primary Outcome

This was measured with two questions. The first one referred to the description of the lesion and it included six characteristics: clear, dry, scaly, redness, cracks/opening and oozing. The second questions asked to grade how itchy was the patient. All characteristics were measured on a scale from 0 to 5 (0 none, 5 extremely bothered/losing sleep).
