Top picks by evidence
- Moderate evidence4 studies
Across 4 studies (2 randomized controlled trials and 2 reviews), all reported beneficial effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92 on atopic dermatitis symptoms. The two RCTs both showed large, statistically significant improvements in SCORAD scores in Japanese adults (p=0.002) and children. The two reviews provide additional support, but the evidence base is small and all studies show positive results, raising concern for publication bias.
- Low evidence3 studies
Across 3 studies, all reported beneficial effects of Lactobacillus brevis SBC8803 on atopic dermatitis symptoms, though effect sizes ranged from small to moderate. The evidence is entirely from narrative reviews summarizing existing literature; no extractable data on dose, form, duration, or statistical significance were available. This evidence base is small and preliminary.
