Trial summary

Striae distensae is caused by the fracture and damage of the elastic fibers and collagen fibers, which is still a difficulty to overcome. Based on the studies demonstrated that platelet-rich plasma(PRP) has positive effect on superficial scar, and nanofat and microfat are effective in treating atrophic scar. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Combination Therapy of Nanofat Grafting and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Compared With Microfat Grafting and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Synergy in Treating Striae Distensae

Striae distensae is caused by the fracture and damage of the elastic fibers and collagen fibers, which is still a difficulty to overcome. Based on the studies demonstrated that platelet-rich plasma(PRP) has positive effect on superficial scar, and nanofat and microfat are effective in treating atrophic scar. So in this clinical trial, the investigators are going to treat striae distensae by using two combination therapies. One is nanofat grafting and PRP injection synergy, and the other one is treated by microfat grafting with PRP injection.

Read the detailed description

The participants were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A is treated by nanofat grafting once every three months for 2 times combined with PRP injection once a month for 6 times. Group B will be treated by microfat grafting onceevery three months for 2 times combined with PRP injection once a month for 6 times. The participants were asked to come back 1、3、6、9 months after treatment for further follow-up.Before and after the treatment, the striae distensae will be assessed subjectively by satisfaction assessment, and objectively by ultrasound and immunohistochemical analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Immunohistochemical analysis

    The tissue extracted will be taken for immunohistochemical analysis to observe the amount of elastic fiber and collagen fiber,etc. More collagen fiber generated better outcome of the treatments.

    Measured: Change from baseline at 15 months.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Ultrasound

    The striae distensae will be assessed by ultrasound in order to observe the change of dermal thickness of striae after the application of nanofat or microfat grafting with PRP injection. if the treatments worked, the dermal thickness will be increased.

    Measured: Change from baseline dermal thickness at 3,6,9,12,15 months of the treatments.

  2. Ultrasound

    The striae distensae will be assessed by ultrasound in order to observe the change of width of striae after the application of nanofat or microfat grafting with PRP injection. Smaller the width better the results.

    Measured: Change from baseline width of striae at 3,6,9,12,15 months of the treatments.
