Anti-Inflammatory drug may ease swallowing in rare skin disease
NCT ID NCT07684105
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether budesonide, an anti-inflammatory medication, can improve swallowing difficulties in people with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, a rare genetic condition that causes fragile skin and scarring. The researchers will review medical records of 15 patients who took budesonide for at least one month. The goal is to see if the treatment reduces the need for esophageal dilation and improves quality of life.
