What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Cold-atmospeheric pressure plasma activated aqueous-alcohol solution treatmentDevice
Cold plasma is generated and applied to carrier liquid. Subjects are provided with the liquid to apply to the treated area
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Cold-atmospeheric pressure plasma activated solution | Experimental | Treatment arm subjects receive the trial intervention Receives: Device: Cold-atmospeheric pressure plasma activated aqueous-alcohol solution treatment |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Measured: 3 months and 6 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Adverse effects related to the treatment
Patients are monitored for adverse effects, including but not limited to irritation, itch, inflammation, scaling, redness, rash, peeling, blistering
Measured: throughout study completeion, 6 months

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2023. 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 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.
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?
Presence of detectable hair growth (time frame: 3 months and 6 months). 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 NCT04379752, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 Nov 2023.
