The trial, being led by the university of Nottingham, will compare what effect wearing silk clothing plus normal eczema care to normal eczema care alone has on children from the age of one with the skin condition.
Funded by the National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment (NIHR HTA) Programme, the trial will aim to prove whether claims recently promoting specialist silk clothing as a new treatment option for people with eczema are correct.
Recruitment for the trial has already begun and will continue for the next 18 months. Researchers are looking for children between the age of one and 15 living in Nottingham, Cambridge, North London, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.
