简介
BACKGROUND
Atopic eczema (AE) is a chronic, itchy, inflammatory skin condition that affects the quality of life of children and their families. The role of specialist clothing in the management of AE is poorly understood.
OBJECTIVES
To assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of silk garments for the management of AE in children with moderate to severe disease.
DESIGN
Parallel-group, observer-blind, randomised controlled trial of 6 months' duration, followed by a 2-month observational period. A nested qualitative study evaluated the beliefs of trial participants, health-care professionals and health-care commissioners about the use of silk garments for AE.
