NCT ID NCT05286047
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a daily probiotic called Bifidobacterium longum CCFM1029 can reduce eczema symptoms in infants aged 3 months to 3 years. One hundred children with atopic dermatitis were split into two groups: one received the probiotic and the other a placebo for 3 months. Researchers tracked changes in eczema severity and gut bacteria to see if the probiotic helps calm inflammation.
