NCT ID NCT06994520

First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether a 5% cannabidiol (CBD) cream can reduce itching and skin severity in adults with chronic eczema conditions like atopic dermatitis and nummular eczema. About 60 participants will apply the CBD cream or a standard steroid cream for 4 weeks. The study measures changes in itch intensity and skin signs like redness and scaling, aiming to see if CBD offers a safer long-term option.
