  • Subject is willing and able to give written informed consent.
  • Subject has a forehead wrinkle rating by the investigator/designee of at least "2" in animation on the 5-point Wrinkle Scale (5WS) which upon physical manipulation/separation of the skin demonstrates a reduction in wrinkle severity. Subject may also have a glabellar score of "1" or higher in animation on a 4-point scale.
  • Subject is willing and able to comply with study instructions and commit to all follow-up visits for the duration of the study.
  • Subject is in good general health and free of any disease state or physical condition that might impair evaluation of forehead and/or glabellar wrinkle rating or which, in the investigator's opinion, exposes the subject to an unacceptable risk by study participation.

Who cannot join

  • Subject is currently enrolled in an investigational drug or device study.
  • Subject has used an investigational drug or investigational device treatment within 30 days prior to first administration of the device.
  • Subject has a clotting disorder or has used an anticoagulant (e.g., Coumadin, clopidogrel, etc.) within seven (7) days prior to administration of the device.
  • Subject has used aspirin, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, e.g., ibuprofen, and naproxen) within seven (7) days prior to administration of the device.
  • Subject has had prior surgery that alters the subcutaneous anatomy of the target treatment sites.

  • Other local skin condition (e.g., skin infection) at target treatment site,
  • Any physical or psychiatric condition that in the investigator's opinion would prevent adequate study participation.
  • Chronic medical condition that in the investigator's opinion would affect study participation (such as diabetes, hepatitis, HIV, etc.).
  • Any chronic condition contraindicated for the use of nerve mapping device including heart disease, use of a cardiac pacemaker, and pregnancy.
  • Subject is known to be noncompliant or is unlikely to comply with the requirements of the study protocol (e.g., due to alcoholism, drug dependency, mental incapacity) in the opinion of the investigator.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Effectiveness success

    Effectiveness endpoint: wrinkle severity in the forehead in animation at 30 days post-treatment (Visit 5) as rated by the investigator/designee using the 5-point Wrinkle Scale (5WS).

    Measured: Up to 4 months

  2. Safety success

    Safety endpoint: Tolerability of treatment (LSRs), local and systemic adverse events will be assessed at all visits. Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) and unanticipated adverse device effects (UADEs) will be recorded. A serious adverse event is one that meets the ISO definition of SAE .

    Measured: Up to 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Cryo-Touch II in people with Facial Wrinkles and Skin Aging, run by Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc at 3 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 18 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 24 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Effectiveness success (time frame: Up to 4 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 24 Mar 2015.
