Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluating the Efficacy of Salovito Diaper Rash Cream for Infants Under One Year in Treating Diaper Dermatitis in Children
Design
This study will be conducted as a double-blind clinical trial. The doctors and nurses conducting the study will be blind to the group assignments, and the mothers and caregivers of the infants will also be unaware of the type of cream received
Settings and conduct
Demographic information and baseline status of diaper dermatitis will be recorded on day zero (the first day of study entry). Then, a package of ointment containing only a code will be provided to the mother (or her nurse). Both the intervention and control groups will receive the ointment in identical containers with the same instructions. The patient will be clinically evaluated twice daily until complete recovery. The status of diaper dermatitis, including its extent, severity, and grade, will be collected on days three, five, and seven. All data will be collected through interviews, clinical evaluations, and photographs for skin assessment.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria for the study will include children under 2 years of age. Children with severe diarrhea, use of topical corticosteroids within the past 5 days, very severe diaper dermatitis (grade 5 or 6), or severe accompanying infectious diseases will be excluded from the study
Intervention groups
All children and infants will be randomly assigned in a pre-determined stratified 1:1 ratio to receive either the Salovito diaper rash cream for infants under one year (intervention group) or the Canola cream (control group)
Main outcome variables
The primary outcome variable is the severity of inflammation and redness of diaper dermatitis. Secondary outcome variables include the severity of pain caused by diaper dermatitis, the presence of itching and burning symptoms, and potential side effects.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Infants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the case group or the control group using a computer-generated block randomization sequence with variable block sizes. To ensure allocation concealment, the assignments will be managed by a third party, who will determine the allocation by phone call upon the enrollment of each new patient. This trial will be conducted as a double-blinded randomized controlled trial, meaning that both the patients and all healthcare providers involved in the study, including doctors, nurses, and staff, will be blinded to the group assignments.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
This trial will be conducted as a double-blinded randomized controlled trial, meaning that both the patients and all healthcare providers involved in the study, including doctors, nurses, and staff, will be blinded to the group assignments. The Salovito (case) and Calandola (control) creams will be packaged in similar boxes with the same color and shape and will be numbered. According to the allocation report, patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the case and control groups.

Primary outcomes

1

Description
The severity of inflammation and redness of diaper dermatitis
Timepoint
Physical examination of the child on days zero, three, five, and seven of study entry
Method of measurement
Grading of the Diaper Dermatitis Severity Index: In this grading system, the severity of inflammation in the diaper area will be examined in four categories, including: 1. Severity of redness and irritation of the skin area (score between 0 to 3). 2. Extent of spread of diaper dermatitis (score between 0 to 1). 3. Presence of papules or pustules in the inflamed area (score between 0 to 1). 4. Presence of open sores (score between 0 to 1). Finally, the scores from these four sections will be summed to obtain an overall score for comparing the severity and involvement of diaper dermatitis

Secondary outcomes

1

Description
The severity of pain caused by diaper dermatitis
Timepoint
Physical examination of the child on days zero, three, five, and seven of study entry.
Method of measurement
To assess and measure the pain caused by diaper dermatitis, the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) will be used. In this tool, various factors including facial expression, crying pattern, breathing pattern, arm movements, leg movements, and state of arousal are examined. The severity of the child's/infant's pain is categorized from grade 0 (no pain) to grade 6 (severe pain).
