Active clinical trials for "Acne Vulgaris"

Compare the effectiveness of nonablative fractional resurfacing to radiofrequency micrnoeedling for facial acne scars in all skin types

Our study involves the evaluation of a high potency chemical peel in its efficacy and safety profile for the treatment of acne scars. This chemical peel regime is a high potency peel of 70% glycolic acid combined with vitamin C that is purported to provide a good balance between yielding results and patient safety. We aim to evaluate its efficacy and safety profile of a single application. The study design is based on a single group that compares pre- vs post-intervention. 10 patients with atrophic acne scars of skin type I-IV will be recruited. Potential benefits include improvement of post acne scars with a short downtime and risks include post peel hyper pigmentation and scarring. We believe that this treatment will be highly beneficial to patients with post acne scarring. This chemical peel regime has good efficacy and safety profile for the treatment of acne scars.

There are many different factors that cause acne. So combination treatment using different medications that can address these different factors is commonly used to treat acne. Fixed-dose combination clindamycin phosphate 1.2% and tretinoin 0.025% gel and benzoyl peroxide 6% foaming cloths are both used to treat acne. This study will evaluate the use of the medications when used together.

This is a clinical trial to compare the benefits and possible adverse events of two antibiotic treatments for mild to moderate acne. It is expected that minocycline microgranules will be more effective than lymecycline with a better adverse events profile.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effect of short treatment with active OPLON patches on Acne.

The objective of this study is to establish the safety in use of the topical drug Acnase Creme and its effectiveness in treatment of acne grade I (comedones) and II (comedones, papules, pustules).

This study is being done to compare a new, continuous illumination and short Incubation time regimen of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (painless ALA- PDT) to low-dose and conventional dose of oral isotretinoin for treatment of moderate or severe acne vulgaris. The hypothesis is that the painless ALA- PDT will be equally or more efficacious as oral isotretinoin, and taking effect more quickly with less adverse effect.

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease involving the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, characterized by acne, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Acne often occurs in sebum overflow areas such as the face, chest, back and so on. It is a common skin lesion, which not only affects physical health, but also brings psychological disorders and psychosocial problems to patients. At present, the common treatment methods of acne include health education, topical drugs, oral drugs and medical cosmetic treatment. Intense pulsed light has been widely accepted as a non-invasive and non-serious treatment for acne. The M22 strong light and laser system Acne filter has a wavelength of 400-600/800-1200nm. Although there are many treatments for acne, the slow response and easy recurrence of acne are still common problems that trouble doctors and patients. We clinically use drugs combined with intense pulsed light treatment, and the efficacy of the patients is fair, but currently lack of clinical research data support. This study intends to evaluate the effectiveness of different methods in the treatment of moderate and severe acne by evaluating different bands of intense pulsed light combined with drugs, and to observe whether the treatment with oral tetracycline antibiotics combined with intense pulsed light is safe.

Isotretinoin is an FDA-approved vitamin A metabolite for the treatment of severe acne; acne that does not respond to other treatments and has a tendency to cause scarring. Ablative laser treatment is another effective treatment against acne scarring. We believe that the combination of CO2 ablative laser treatment with oral isotretinoin for the treatment of scarring is not only safer but also more effective and leads to much more successful cosmetic results.

In this study the topical use of cream with live probiotic bacteria was evaluated for its efficacy in reducing acne symptoms and its effect on the skin microbiota on patients with acne. Patients with mild to moderate acne used the probiotic cream for 8 weeks and clinical evaluation and sampling was done at start, 4, 8 and 10 weeks. Next-Generation Sequencing was used to analyze the skin microbiota of the patients.
