Skin sodium levels may hold clues to eczema in older adults

NCT ID NCT06998446

First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This observational study investigates factors linked to sodium stored in the skin of healthy adults and people with atopic dermatitis (eczema) aged 50 and older. Researchers aim to see if diet and skin barrier function affect skin sodium levels, and whether those levels are tied to eczema severity and immune changes over time. Participants complete questionnaires, provide biological samples, and undergo non-contrast sodium MRI scans at two to three visits across three to 24 months.
