Effect of Breast Milk on Diaper Dermatitis in Infants

Turkey (Türkiye)30 participantsStarted 2023-05-01

Plain-language summary

Diaper dermatitis, one of infants' most common health problems, can be treated with various methods. One of these methods is breast milk. Studies show that breast milk is a non-harmful, accessible and effective product in the healing of dermatitis. This study was planned to be a randomized, controlled, and single-blinded study to evaluate the effect of breast milk and diaper rash cream containing Hamamelis virginiana (potency 12mg/100g) 5.35 g/100g on the healing process in 0-12-month-old infants with diaper dermatitis. The population of the study consisted of 0-12 months old infants with diaper dermatitis who applied to the Pediatrics Outpatient Clinic of X Hospital. Since not all infants with diaper dermatitis complaints were examined, the number of the population cannot be known. The sample size was calculated as 26 for each group and 52 in total . 30 infants were planned to be included in each group. The licensed IBM SPSS 22.0 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) package program will be used for statistical data analysis. Standard deviation, number and percentage will be used in data analysis. Man Whitney U test and Fisher exact test (repeated measures) will be used to evaluate whether there is a difference between independent groups. For the significance level of the data, 0.05 will be used.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
