About this study

Official title: Effect of Cold Air Cooling on the Incidence of Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation Following a Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser Treatment of Acquired Bilateral Nevus of Ota-Like Macules

  • To investigate the benefit of epidermal cooling on the incidence of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation after laser irradiation
Read the detailed description
  • 70% incidence of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation has been reported following a Q-switched nd:YAG laser treatment of acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules.
  • We assumed that epidermal cooling may minimize the non-specific injury to the epidermis caused during laser irradiation, leading to the decreased incidence of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Being tested
Cold air cooling

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cold air cooling in people with Nevus and Hyperpigmentation, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (time frame: 2 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00287001, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 May 2008.
