19 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study evaluates the efficacy of treatment of striae distensae using the combined modality of fractional laser and poly-L lactic acid (Sculptra).
Striae Distensae
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of Stratacel® wound dressing on cosmetic outcomes following 1064/532nm picosecond laser (Picoway®, Syneron Candela Corp, Wayland, MA, USA) treatment of abdominal striae alba. Secondary objectives include examining the effect of Stratacel® wound dressing on post-laser healing and symptomatology.
Striae; Albicantes
The purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate the efficacy, safety as well as patient satisfaction in the use of topical Centella asiatica (CA) on the cosmetic appearance of stretch marks.
Stretch Marks, Striae Distensae, Cosmetic Appearance of Stretch Marks
This trial is intended to evaluate the effect of IPL treatment on the Striae Distensae. The study hypothesis is that the SR580 applicator will improve the appearance of Striae Distensae by at least 1 point on the Global Aesthetic Improvement ScaleI (GAIS) at 3 months follow-up compared to baseline in at least 50% of the study population.
Striae Distensae
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the bilateral treatment of striae using a 755nm Alexandrite laser.
Striae
This was a prospective randomized controlled study comparing the efficacy of micro-focused ultrasound when used in conjunction with 1550-nm erbium-doped fractionated laser versus 1550-nm erbium-doped fractionated laser alone for treatment of striae distensae(stretch marks). Each side of thigh (or abdomen) was randomized to receive 1550nm-fractionated laser treatment every 2 weeks for a total of 4 treatments on one side and the contralateral side received micro-focused ultrasound treatment and 1550nm-fractionated laser alternatively every 2 weeks for a total of 4 treatments with site-match control area of baseline striae on each side. The primary outcome measure by two dermatologists blindly compared the two areas of striae distensae on each side from live subjects using a questionnaire and quartile rating scale on the final follow-up visit. This study was a pilot study designed to determine the feasibility of these procedures.
Stretch Marks
The goal of this is to evaluate the biomechanical properties of hypotonous eyes with vertical anterior corneal striae and/or hypotony maculopathy compared to hypotonous eyes without striae.
Hypotony Ocular, Cornea Folds and Rupture of Bowman's Membrane Both Eyes, Maculopathy
Up to 20 subjects will be enrolled. Enrolled subjects will receive one of three study treatments in the abdominal region: Ultherapy® only, Ultherapy® and CO2 laser treatment, or CO2 laser treatment only. Follow-up visit will occur at 14, 90 and 180 days post-treatment. Study images will be obtained pre-treatment, approximately 30 minutes post-treatment, and at each follow-up visit.
Scars, Striae
Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the Mosaic Ultra 1550nm system for the treatment of skin tone and texture, facial rejuvenation, photoaging, wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, acne vulgaris and hair loss.
Skin Texture Disorder, Photoaging, Wrinkle, Scar, Stretch Mark, Acne Vulgaris, Hair Loss
The goal of the Potenza device used in this study is to collect clinical data for dermatologic conditions in which electrocoagulation and hemostasis is a viable mechanism for means of improvement.
Wrinkle, Fine Lines, Crepey Skin, Acne Scars, Active Acne, Enlarged Pores, Stretch Mark, Loose Skin
The primary objective of this pilot study is exploratory investigation evaluating the Potenza microneedle fractional radiofrequency (RF) device and may be used in combination with the Icon intense pulsed light (IPL) device.
Wrinkles, Scars, Stretch Marks, Pigmentation, Skin Laxity
Subjects are to be enrolled in this clinical study if they are 18 - 55 years old. Up to 120 subjects will be enrolled at multiple study centers. Subjects may receive up to 5 treatments for a wide array of dermatologic conditions in which electrocoagulation and hemostasis is a viable mechanism for means of improvement.
Wrinkle, Fine Lines, Crepey Skin, Acne Scars, Acne, Enlarged Pores, Stretch Marks, Loose Skin
The purpose of this investigation is to study the effectiveness of longer wavelength UVA1 (340-400nm) or shorter wavelength ultraviolet B \[UVB\] (290-320nm) irradiation in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions (such as: atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, mycosis fungoides, alopecia areata, stretch marks and urticaria). This research study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational device which is similar in appearance to a "tanning bed" but which emits ultraviolet irradiation of a specific wavelength known as UVA1. This device has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for general use in this country, as of yet, but it has been used quite successfully in Europe for several years in treating such conditions as scleroderma, atopic dermatitis, urticaria pigmentosa and other skin conditions. Instead of UVA1 therapy, patients may receive ultraviolet radiation of a specific wavelength known as UVB. UVA1 light is a longer wavelength and therefore a lower energy wavelength than UVB. UVB light is often the light associated with getting a sunburn since it has a higher level of energy. UVB light has been used successfully in the treatment of many skin conditions.
Atopic Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Alopecia, Mycosis Fungoides, Urticaria, Dermatoses, Stretch Marks
At least thirty (30) subjects, Fitzpatrick-Goldman Skin Type I-IV will be enrolled in 2 clinical sites; each clinic will enroll at least 15 subjects. Subjects should present visible wrinkles and/or striae requiring treatment. Hypothesis: The M22 ResurFX 1565nm module will improve the appearance of the wrinkles by at least 2 grades on the Fitzpatrick-Goldman Wrinkle and Elastosis Score, and striae by at least 50% using VAS as compared to baseline, for at least 75% of the subjects.
Wrinkles, Striae
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mechanical coring for directional skin tightening. This study is a prospective, up to 3 center, multiple skin treatment area study of the safety and efficacy of mechanical coring with directional closure to achieve directional skin tightening.
Skin Tightening, Healthy Volunteers
A study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a micro coring device for the treatment of scars.
Scars
Participants in study C-1073-400 (NCT00569582) will be invited to participate in this extension study to examine the long term safety of mifepristone in the treatment of the signs and symptoms of endogenous Cushing's syndrome. Total treatment duration may be up to 12 months or longer at the discretion of the Investigator.
Cushing's Syndrome
This is an observational study to confirm the presence of recurrent or persistent endogenous Cushing's syndrome in patients who have had primary surgical and/or radiation therapy for Cushing's disease and continue to manifest symptoms and signs of hypercortisolemia.
Cushing's Syndrome
Patients will receive Corlux (mifepristone) daily for up to 24 weeks. Assessments of the signs and symptoms of Cushing's syndrome will be obtained.
