NCT ID NCT04740632
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether personalized nutritional counseling from a team of pediatricians, allergists, and dietitians can improve the quality of life for mothers of children with food allergies. Researchers will compare mothers already receiving this multidisciplinary care with those who have not yet received it. They will use questionnaires to measure anxiety, stress, and daily burden. The goal is to see if expert guidance helps families manage elimination diets and reduce parental worry.
