Active clinical trials for "Hidradenitis"

The objective of this study is to assess quality of life (QoL), skin pain, work productivity/activity and health related problems in Swedish patients with moderate to severe HS before and after 6 months treatment with Adalimumab. Participants will be treated in accordance with normal routine clinical care.

Therapy with etanercept, a TNF inhibitor will reverse the inflammation, symptoms and quality of life and allow healing of HS.

The purpose of the WE-HEAL Study is to help researchers use human tissue samples and health records to study the reasons why some patients heal quickly and some have problems healing wounds. All patients seen with an open wound or hidradenitis suppurativa are invited to participate. Information from this research may help to understand how to prevent and treat certain diseases.

Prospective, observational cross-sectional study to evaluate the response of patients with HS I-II to monotherapy treatment of topical resorcin 15%, taking into account its safety, impact on quality of life and subclinical evolution.

Hidradenitis suppurativa or Verneuil's disease (HS) is a neglected and often overlooked chronic inflammatory skin disease. Nevertheless, it is frequent (1% of the general population) and deeply affects quality of life in patients with moderate and severe forms of HS. This disease is characterized by the occurrence of deep, recurrent and painful nodules, progressing to abscess formation and suppuration. It is usually localized in the axillary, inguinal and anogenital areas. The pathogenesis of HS remains partly unknown but is probably multifactorial (inflammatory, genetic, infectious, etc.) and related to many risk factors (mostly smoking and obesity). An association can be found with other inflammatory diseases such as gastrointestinal and rheumatic diseases like Crohn's disease and spondylo-arthritis respectively. Periodontal diseases are a heterogeneous group of infectious diseases with an inflammatory component. Their clinical expression results in more or less rapid destruction of tooth supporting tissues. Without treatment, these lesions may progress ultimately to tooth exfoliation, the rate of disease progression being unevenly distributed in the population. Various epidemiological studies in France indicate that 12 to 13% of middle-aged adults have severe periodontal damage. In addition, a recent study shows that while 50% of adults in France are suffering from severe attachment loss, generalized forms are rare and about 10% of individuals seem to require special care. The bacterial factor is the main etiological factor of these diseases but their progression depends primarily on the host immune response and on modifying factors (genetic, systemic, environmental and behavioural). Some of these factors are identified such as uncontrolled diabetes, smoking, stress, etc.. Finally, it is well established that periodontal disease may also trigger the development of some systemic diseases such as diabetes. Thus, many common etiopathogenic factors between HS and periodontal diseases such as inflammatory components and tobacco are found. This is corroborated by observations collected from some patients with HS complaining of oral pain exacerbated during acute flares of HS. Hence the aim of this project is to clarify existing potential association between Hidradenitis suppurativa and periodontal diseases using a multicenter cross-sectional descriptive clinical approach. One hundred patients with HS will be included in the departments of dermatology at the University Hospital in Reims and at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. They will be compared with one hundred patients without HS recruited from "general practice" consultations in the departments of Odontology at the University Hospital in Reims and at Bretonneau Hospital in Paris. The severity of HS will be assessed with Hurley's score by the dermatologist. The periodontal status will be evaluated with clinical indices and radiographical parameters by a periodontist according to the "Armitage" classification of periodontal disease and to CDC-AA case definitions updated in 2012. Meanwhile, human saliva is a biological fluid taken to reflect the health status of an individual and is or may be used for diagnosis and prognosis of some oral cancers, some systemic diseases (type 2 diabetes, sarcoidosis, etc.) or periodontal diseases. The saliva will be collected and analysed by proteomics and metabolomics techniques in order to identify biomarkers for diagnosis and prognostic of HS associated or not to periodontal diseases. These unpublished works could demonstrate a predisposition to develop periodontal disease in a subgroup of HS patients and help to unravel new etiopathogenic mechanisms common to both diseases as well as ultimately lead to early periodontal management in order to avoid disease progression and tooth losses.

The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Er:YAG laser for treatment of different gynecological indication, e.g. genital lesions, Bartholin's cyst, condyloma, episiotomy scars, lesions of hydradenitis suppurativa and use of laser in genital surgery used in private practice.

Managed Access Program (MAP) Cohort Treatment Plan CAIN457M2002M to provide access to Secukinumab for adult patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)

This study investigates the genetic architecture of Neutrophil-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Diseases. After collecting informed consent, all patients' clinical phenotype is graded at inclusion with a detailed case report form and a discovery cohort formed based on the certainty of diagnosis. The DNA of patients in the discovery cohort is analyzed by whole exome sequencing which identifies all protein-coding genetic variants. Subsequently, statistical burden tests are going to identify enrichment of rare coding genetic variants in patients affected by Neutrophil-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Diseases. The ultimate goal is to reveal the responsible gene(s) that may then be targets for clinical intervention.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the psychological impact of psoriasis or hidradenitis suppurativa on patients, in order to compare both pathologies.
