Active clinical trials for "Dermatitis, Seborrheic"

The aims of this study are to compare the effectiveness of antifungal foam versus antifungal shampoo and determine patient compliance and satisfaction with both vehicles among African American females with dandruff practicing less than once weekly hair washing.

Seborrhoeic dermatitis (SD) is a papulosquamous (presence of both papules and scales) disorder patterned on the sebum-rich areas of the scalp, face, and trunk. The current treatment does not cure the disease permanently. Therefore it must be repeated when the symptoms recur, or even prophylactically. Corticosteroids and antifungals are the mainstay of therapy. Topical corticosteroids rapidly reduce the cutaneous signs of disease, but are associated with a high frequency of relapse when treatment is stopped. They are reserved for acute flare-ups only as they may precipitate recurrences and dependence. In addition, chronic use of corticosteroids is associated with side-effects. The scientific rationale for the use of K40 for treatment of SD was based on clinical evidence that K40 improves erythema and desquamation with mild adverse reactions in a few cases. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of K40 (K40a and K40b combined) compared to placebo after 4 weeks treatment as measured by the sum of erythema and desquamation scores at Week 4.

To determine the potential of topically applied 0.75% (w/w) MTC896 Gel to reduce sebum production on the forehead of healthy male volunteers.

The purpose of this study is to test whether the stimulation of vascularization and cellular metabolism on the scalp by use of the HairMax LaserComb will produce improvement in the condition of scalp seborrheic dermatitis.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory dermatological disease, evolving by relapses, affecting mainly the face and scalp. It would be important to have a maintenance treatment for severe forms of seborrheic dermatitis witch is both effective and relatively well tolerated to reduce the frequency of relapses, prolong remissions obtained after attack treatment and reduce the use of topical steroids.

This study is a Phase II, single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in male and female subjects, aged ≥ 19 years with mild to moderate seborrheic dermatitis of the face. All subjects will receive BID topical applications of PAC-14028 cream or vehicle for up to 4 weeks.

The objective is to assess different treatment regimens with Clobetasol propionate shampoo 0.05% in the treatment of scalp Seborrheic Dermatitis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Aerosal® compared to placebo in the prognosis of inverse psoriasis or sebopsoriasis present for at least one year

The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the scalp bacterial and fungal microbiota in subjects afflicted with a scalp seborrheic dermatitis (SSD) during a 2% ketoconazole-based treatment followed by a maintenance phase (1% Selenium Disulfide (SeS2)/1% salicylic acid-based shampoo versus its vehicle).

Oral isotretinoin is the gold standard drug to treat moderate to severe acne. Other indications like seborrhea, seborrheic dermatitis have been suggested. There is risk of reversible mucocutaneous side effects, as well as alterations in lipid profile and transaminases. The major problem is teratogenicity which demands pregnancy control from treatment beginning to one month after treatment end. Seborrhea and seborrheic dermatitis are chronic conditions characterized by oily skin, hair and scalp, erythema, desquamation and negative impact on quality of life. This will be an interventional, therapeutic and quality of life randomized, comparative (parallel groups), blinded evaluation clinical trial, comprising 50 men and women, aged 18 to 40. Treatment with low-dose oral isotretinoin will be compared to topical anti-seborrheic products to evaluate the reduction of sebaceous secretion and colonization of affected areas by yeasts of Malassezia gender. Efficacy will be evaluated by clinical parameters, as well as by sebum secretion measure and application of quality of life questionnaires. Safety will be evaluated by skin hydration measure, side effects report and observation. For subjects using oral isotretinoin blood counting, transaminases, lipid profile and pregnancy test will be requested as selection criteria, on days 30 and 180. Data will be submitted to statistical analysis.
