The Value of Synbiotics in Atopic Dermatitis  : Dermatology News

February 24, 2016

Synbiotics can be used to treat atopic dermatitis, particularly those with mixed strains of bacteria, according to a meta-analysis of 8 studies involving nearly 1,700 children. 

Investigators analyzed the SCORAD index in 6 treatment studies involving 369 children, and the relative risk of atopic dermatitis in 2 prevention trials involving 1,320 children. 

In the treatment studies:

• Change in SCORAD index in those treated with synbiotics at 8 weeks was −6.56.  

• Heterogeneity was significant.  

• Significant effect was seen only when using mixed strains of bacteria (average score difference -7.32), and when used in children aged 1 year or older (average score difference -7.37).

In the prevention studies, those taking synbiotics were 56% less likely than those taking placebo to develop atopic dermatitis.
