Comparative Study of Clobetasone Butyrate Cream (eumovate) and Hydrocortisone Cream in Children with Eczema
Abstract:
A double blind trial comparing clobetasone butyrate cream with hydrocortisone cream was undertaken in 21 children with bilateral eczema. The design of the study was controlled, double blind and randomised. Both the treatment significantly reduced the scores from intitial values and after lst, 2nd and 3rd weeks of treatment. At all periods, the reductions in pre- treatment total scores have been greater for Clobetasone as compared to hydrocortisone, the difference becoming significant at the end of 3 weeks of treatment. 63% patients showed preference to Clobetasone as against 37% who preferred hydrocortisone. No side effects were observed.

ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...

Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
