TIGER (Trial of food allergy IgE tests for Eczema Relief)
Who we’re recruiting
Children 3 months to <2 years old with eczema.
What is involved
Your GP surgery runs an Web search supplied by the research team which, following a light touch screen, is uploaded to Docmail so invitation letters can be sent. You follow this up with a text reminder 2 weeks later.
Expressions of interest, eligibility checking, consent, randomisation and follow-up are all done by the research team.
We need a room in your practice and a GP on-site to conduct the baseline visit with parent/child.
All participants get a good eczema care leaflet and those randomised into the intervention group are given dietary advice based on skin prick tests to cow’s milk, hen’s egg, wheat and soya.
