Children's Eczema Study
The children’s eczema study is now recruiting and they are looking for
volunteers aged 2-12 years with a doctor's diagnosis of eczema to test a
novel mānuka oil-based topical treatment. Volunteers
must be able to travel to the participating pharmacy in Dunedin,
however, we can offer assistance if requested. They will be provided
with study treatment to apply twice daily for 6 weeks and will answer a
weekly questionnaire about their eczema symptoms.
Participants will return to the pharmacy six weeks later for a second
visit. All study medication is provided free of charge and volunteers
will be compensated for their time and travel expenses.
Attached is a parent/guardian information sheet which
contains more detailed information about the study if you’re interested.
