RECRUITING

The Impact of Botox on Neuroimmune Interactions in Atopic Dermatitis

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to understand cellular and molecular interactions in the skin of participants with mild-to-moderate AD, and how botulinum toxin alters these interactions.
