This leads to excessive water loss through the skin, dryness, itching, cracking, and a higher risk of skin infections. The current standard treatment is urea cream, which helps soften and remove scale but does not repair the underlying fat structure of the skin barrier. Cholesterol is one of the key natural fats that makes up a healthy skin barrier, so applying it directly to the skin may help rebuild that barrier more effectively than urea.\n\nIn this study, each participant will have one cream applied to one side of the body and the other cream applied to the matching area on the opposite side, so that each person acts as their own comparison. Researchers will measure how much water the skin loses (transepidermal water loss), skin hydration, and skin pH before and after treatment. They will also assess dryness and itching, take standardized clinical photographs, and ask participants to complete quality-of-life questionnaires (the Dermatology Life Quality Index, or its children's version, the Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index) as well as a satisfaction questionnaire for each cream.\n\nThe goal is to find out whether cholesterol cream restores the skin barrier better than urea cream, reduces dryness and itching more effectively, and leads to a better quality of life for people living with ARCI. The results may help guide more targeted skin care recommendations for this rare genetic condition.\n\nThis study is being conducted at the Institute of Dermatology, Bangkok, Thailand, and has been approved by the Institute's Ethics Committee.",[28,29,30],"Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyosis","Skin Barrier Dysfunction","Ichthyosis Inherited",[28,32,33,34,35],"Cholesterol Cream","Urea Cream","Skin Barrier Function","Dermatology Life Quality Index","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-07-07",{"date":39,"type":40},"2026-07-08","ACTUAL",{"date":42,"type":22},"2026-07-15",{"date":44,"type":22},"2027-06-30",{"name":46,"class":47},"Institute of Dermatology, Thailand","OTHER_GOV",1,{"id":50,"slug":51,"hasResults":11,"nctId":52,"briefTitle":53,"officialTitle":54,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":55,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":56,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":57,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":59,"briefSummary":60,"conditions":61,"keywords":62,"overallStatus":68,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":69,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":70,"startDateStruct":72,"completionDateStruct":74,"leadSponsor":76,"locationsCount":48},"100514515","evaluate-the-evolution-of-body-and-scalp-skin-discomfort-in-patients-with-hereditary-ichthyosis-after-wraps-envelopichtyose-100514515","NCT05979506","Evaluate the Evolution of Body and Scalp Skin Discomfort in Patients With Hereditary Ichthyosis After Wraps (EnvelopIchtyose)","Evaluate the Evolution of Cutaneous Discomfort of the Body and Scalp After 3 Wraps, in Patients With Moderate to Very Severe Hereditary Ichthyosis","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patient with hereditary ichthyosis regardless of the clinical form\n* Patient with a scaling or erythema score \\> 6\u002F16\n* Patient with a skin discomfort score \\> 3\u002F10\n* Patient having given written, free and informed consent\n* Patient affiliated to a social security scheme\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patient with a skin disease other than ichthyosis\n* Patient having modified his treatments for ichthyosis in the month preceding inclusion\n* Patient with known intolerance or allergy to one of the topicals used in the study\n* Patient unable to complete the study questionnaires\n* Patient under a protection regime","15 Years",{"count":58,"type":22},34,[25],"Ichthyosis is a group of rare and chronic genetic diseases beginning at birth, in which the patient's skin is covered with scales of variable appearance and severity.
