What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • bathing and moisturizer applicationProcedure or surgery

    regimen 1: soaking an arm for 10 minutes, no moisturizer application regimen 2: soaking an arm for 10 minutes,immediate moisturizer application regimen 3: soaking an arm for 10 minutes, delayed moisturizer application for 30 min.

    regimen 4: wait for 10 minutes,no soaking, moisturizer application (moisturizer alone) (All regimens were completed in all patients with 2 visits (7 days interval))

Study groups in NCT02028546
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
WaterExperimentalThe patients in water group were soaking an arm for 10 minutes with tap water before application of moisturizer. (Excepted the 4th regimen included no bathing, waited for 10 minutes and followed by moisturizer application.)
Receives: Procedure: bathing and moisturizer application
mild cleanserExperimentalThe patients in mild cleanser group were soaking an arm for 10 minutes with mild cleanser before application of moisturizer. (Excepted the 4th regimen included no bathing, waited for 10 minutes and followed by moisturizer application.) Non soap base cleanser contained Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate was used in this mild cleanser arm.
Receives: Procedure: bathing and moisturizer application

What is being measured

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

  1. Skin hydration (skin capacitance) by using Corneometer and the trans-epidermal water loss value by using Tewameter of various regimens of bathing and moisturizer application

    Measured: The skin hydration (capacitance value) and transepidermal water loss value were assessed at baseline and every 30 minutes for 120 minutes after each regimen.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. skin hydration (capacitance value) by using Corneometer and transepidermal water loss value by using Tewameter between immediate and delayed (30 minutes) moisturizer application after bathing.

    Measured: The skin hydration (capacitance value) and TEWL value were assessed at baseline and every 30 minutes for 120 minutes after each regimen.

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?

Skin hydration (skin capacitance) by using Corneometer and the trans-epidermal water loss value by using Tewameter of various regimens of bathing and moisturizer application (time frame: The skin hydration (capacitance value) and transepidermal water loss value were assessed at baseline and every 30 minutes for 120 minutes after each regimen.). 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 7 Jan 2014.
