Active clinical trials for "Acne Vulgaris"

The purpose of this study is to determine the response of acne patients and healthy control patients to the P. acnes bacteria. Half a tube of blood will be drawn from all participants to determine whether or not they have antibodies to the P. acnes bacterium. Anywhere from 1 to 4 skin biopsies of acne pimples or normal control skin will be taken from all subjects for further analysis in the lab to determine whether the inflammation in these pimples can be reduced using anti-P.acnes antibodies.

The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and sebum level in adult female acne. A cross sectional study was conducted with 50 samples, in June to October 2017.

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to evaluation the ability of 5-aminolevulinic acid HCL topical solution photodynamic therapy to decrease the colonization of Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes- a bacteria commonly found in the dermis of the skin surrounding the shoulder) in order to decrease postoperative joint infections. -Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is a naturally occurring metabolite in the synthesis of pathway of cellular heme production. Adding ALA to bacteria encourages porphyrin production which serve as the immediate precursors to heme production. When these porphyrins are illuminated with blue light at an emission peak of 407-420nm, these metabolites become exothermic and cause internal destruction of the bacterial cells. This therapy does not cause any damage to the mammalian cells, which makes PDT safe for human skin treatment.

A clinical study with 56 healthy subjects (both sexes) aged between 13 to 25 years old. Subjects enrolled had a minimum of 5 inflammatory lesions (papules, nodules and pustules) and 10 non-inflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones), determined by dermatologist. The clinical evaluation considered in oiliness, shininess and global aspect of the skin too. Instrumental assessment of oiliness and shininess was performed, respectively, by Sebumeter and Sebutape. IThe tested cleanser was used twice daily (morning and evening) during 28 days.

Objective: Acne vulgaris, an inflammatory disease, was investigated in this study with the claim that C-reactive protein (CRP) / albumin ratio and some hematological parameter ratios have the potential to be used as inflammatory markers to monitor disease severity and prognosis. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with two groups of patients aged 18-65 years, 61 patients diagnosed with acne vulgaris and 35 healthy control patients, and routine hemogram and biochemical parameters were compared. The Global Acne Severity Index was used to determine the severity of acne vulgaris.

The study objectives are to characterize new users of Cyproterone Acetate / Ethinylestradiol (CPA/EE) in 2011/2012 and in 2014 according to demographics, treatment characteristics, previous diagnosis of acne, hirsutism or other hyperandrogenic conditions, previous acne treatment and (concomitant) use of hormonal contraceptives identified in Healthcare Databases in the UK (THIN), the Netherlands (PHARMO) and Italy (HSD).

This study will use a survey to examine relationships between culture, race, and ethnicity with treatment preferences and perceptions for acne vulgaris.

Acne Vulgaris is a chronic skin disease. However, chronic and repetitive due to the quality of life and psychological status of patients can affect. Today, although the treatment is repetitive, chronic and requires follow-up due to the disease patients can turn to alternative and complementary medicine techniques. In recent years, studies on alternative medicine and complementary therapies have been noted in the medical literature. These studies also include Case Reports related to acne vulgaris. However, in our country, there is no study that tells us whether patients with acne vulgaris apply these treatments or not and what the practitioners think about the success of the treatment. The aim of the study will be to clarify issues such as whether patients with Acne Vulgaris apply alternative medicine and complementary therapies for their disease.

A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing An Irrisept Antiseptic Irrigation With 0.05% Chlorhexidine Gluconate versus Standard of Care Prophylaxis Chlorohexidine Wipes

The objective of the study is to investigate prevalence of H.Pylori infection among acne vulgaris patients.
