About this study

Official title: Adjuvant Effect of Photobiomodulation in the Treatment of Incontinence-associated Dermatitis in Adults - a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is an inflammation of the skin that occurs as a result of urine or feces contact on the perineal or perigenital region in adults. Lesions are typically located in the convex regions covered by diapers. The perineal region is the most affected, bringing pain and discomfort to the participant. The prevention and treatment of IAD must essentially follow two interventions: the control of incontinence/dampness and the implementation of a structured regimen of perineal care, seeking results for the restoration of skin integrity. Therefore, the gold standard for the treatment of IAD is skin hygiene, moisture control, and the use of a skin protector to restore skin integrity. Photobiomodulation has been used with excellent results in restoring skin integrity in acute and chronic wounds, but so far it has not been tested for IAD. To evaluate the effect of photobiomodulation in the treatment of incontinence-associated dermatitis in adults. A total of 78 with participant who developed lesions that present erythema with intact skin and erythema with loss of continuity, resulting from IAD, will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups: Control group use of liquid protective film in spray + FBM simulation (placebo), Experimental group (n=39) - use of liquid protective film in spray + FBM. FBM will be performed with a 660 nm 100mW diode laser, 2 J per point, in 8 points and radiant exposure of 707 J/cm2. FBM will be applied once a day every 24 hours for 3 days in a row. Both groups will continue with standard daily skin care and diaper changes every 3 hours. The primary endpoint was chosen for the 7-day IAD lesion cure rate study. A photographic record of the lesion area and measurements will be performed using a disposable ruler with the participant in a lithotomous position on the days of the evaluations. For the classification and characterization of the severity of IAD, the Ghent Global IAD Categorization tool will be applied. In addition, the size of the area will be analyzed using ImageJ software program. For pain assessment, the visual analog scale will be used in conscious participants and the BPS scale in participants with cognitive impairment and who are intubated. All outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, at 24 hours, 3 days, and 7 days.

Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is an inflammation of the skin that occurs as a result of urine or feces contact on the perineal or perigenital region in adults. Lesions are typically located in the convex regions covered by diapers. The perineal region is the most affected, bringing pain and discomfort to the participant.

Therefore, the gold standard for the treatment of IAD is skin hygiene, moisture control, and the use of a skin protector to restore skin integrity. Photobiomodulation has been used with excellent results in restoring skin integrity in acute and chronic wounds, but so far it has not been tested for IAD.

Materials and methods: A controlled, randomized, and blinded clinical study will be carried out on participants hospitalized in the Intensive Care sector, oncology, and coronary care unit of Hcor Associação Beneficente Síria. A total of 78 participants who developed lesions that present erythema with intact skin and erythema with loss of continuity, resulting from IAD, will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups: Control group (n=39) - use of liquid protective film in spray + FBM simulation (placebo), Experimental group (n=39) - use of liquid protective film in spray + FBM. FBM will be performed with a 660 nm 100mW diode laser, 2 J per point, in 8 points and radiant exposure of 707 J/cm2. FBM will be applied once a day every 24 hours for 3 days in a row.

For the classification and characterization of the severity of IAD, the Ghent Global IAD Categorization tool will be applied. In addition, the size of the area will be analyzed using ImageJ software program. Pain will be assessed using a pain scale and a satisfaction questionnaire. All outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, at 24 hours, 3 days, and 7 days.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control groupPlacebo comparatorControl group (n=39) - 3M Cavilon ® protective spray film + simulation of the use of laser (placebo) - after cleaning the skin, the pain scale will be applied and after application of FBM in the same points of the group that will undergo irradiation. To mimic the action of the laser, the BIP noise will be recorded and its activation will be done by the nursing employee who provides the care, after simulating the use of the laser, the use of the 3M Cavilon ® protective spray film will be applied. The application of the laser will be immediate in 8 points of the perineum region in the areas that present lesions, these applications will occur 1 x a day every 24 hours for three consecutive days. Skincare will be maintained with 3M Cavilon ® Cleansing Solution and the use of 3M Cavilon ® Protective Spray Film. A photographic record of the lesion will be made on days 0 and 3 of treatment and after 2 days after treatment to monitor the recovery of the IAD

It will be used the Globaid tool that will be applied in both groups.
Receives: Other: protective spray film; Device: photobiomodulation therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. T- Healing rate of IAD lesion in 7 days

    The participant will be evaluated by a calibrated member who will evaluate the participant with Globaid until the 7th day in which the lesion is expected to heal.

    Measured: seventh day

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Size of the lesion measured by its area

    Size of the lesion measured by its area - A measurement of the lesion area will be made before the start of treatment on days 0 and 3 and day 7. To evaluate the lesion, the measurement in its greatest length and width will be considered, the measurements will be noted, and, later, multiplied one measurement by the other to obtain the area in cm²

    Measured: seventh day

  2. Photographed for evaluation

    The lesions will be photographed for evaluation on the 0th, 3rd, and 7th day and using the ImageJ® software "USA National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD ", analyses of the edge of each lesion will be performed, manually delimited with the mouse and the entire lesion will be circled for the calculation of the area, quantifying the total area of the lesions by the delimitation of the edges and, later, the dermatitis lesion index (ILD) will be calculated = (Initial area - Final area / Initial area), where ILD= 1 (100%) represents total revitalization; ILD=0 with no signs of revitalization; ILD>0 reductions and ILD. The computerized area of the lesion will be calculated by the scale in centimeters of the millimeter ruler photographed next to each lesion. This evaluation will be carried out by the same examiner who was not aware of the identification of the samples.

    Measured: seventh day

  3. Ghent Global IAD Categorization Tool scale

    The lesions will be photographed in a standardized way and will be evaluated by an experienced calibrated researcher, using the instrument for the evaluation of the Ghent Global IAD Categorization Tool scale from Globaid that characterizes the category of the lesion, individuals who do not have category 1 (1A) and category 2 (2A), demonstrate healing and wound healing. There are no signs of a cure if the category remains 1-(1A) and 2(2A). Individuals who evolve in category 1 (2B) and in category 2 (2B), will be considered as signs of severity, according to the scale and exit criteria of the study.

    Measured: seventh day

  4. Pain assessment (Visual Analog Scale /Behavioral Pain Scale/ Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia)

    Pain assessment with the pain scale VAS with a score from 0 to 10 that will be applied to conscious participants who can inform the score of their pain,

    In intubated participants the Behavioral Pain Scale - BPS will be used with scores pain 0 to 12 in participants on mechanical ventilation, evaluating the following parameters: Facial expression, body movements, and Tolerance to mechanical ventilation the scale allows defining the pain intensity between 3 (no pain) and 12 (the greatest pain intensity).

    In adults with cognitive impairment, periods of confusion and dementia, the Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia - PAINAD scale will be used, which has pain intensity from 0 to 10.The application of the scale will occur during intimate hygiene. Pain assessment will take place during intimate hygiene, which is the appropriate time to measure pain, this assessment will be done until the end of the intervention.

    Measured: seventh day
