Active clinical trials for "Sunburn"

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the dermal safety of Bemotrizinol (6%).

This study is designed to determine the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of a test product following 80 Minute Water Immersion methodology defined in Final Monograph - Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 - "Labeling and Effectiveness Testing; Sunscreen Drug Products; Required Labeling Based on Effectiveness Testing", Final Rule, 21 CFR 201.327.(j)

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety potential of Helioblock® SX Cream as a sunscreen product in long term intermittent use conditions among pediatric subjects.. Each subject will be enrolled to participate for six months. The test product should be applied every day that outdoor activities are planned, prior to any significant sun exposure during out-door activities (such as the beach, outdoor sport activities), or whenever the subject needs to be protected against sunburn or other damage due to the sun. A minimum of 14 days test product use and sun exposure is required.

Topical antihistamines can be used to promote relief of sunburn related symptoms (erythema, itch and burning sensations). Dexchlorpheniramine maleate 1% cream is a topical antihistamine formulation approved by ANVISA in Brazil for the relief of skin irritation and pruritus, including the ones caused by sunburn. The aim of the present study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of a new pharmacological preparation of dexchlorpheniramine maleate (1% gel) with the standard preparation (1% cream) for the relief of sunburn related symptoms and to demonstrate the safety of both preparations.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the sun protection effect and efficacy in treatment of sunburn using topical corticosteroids in a randomised controlled and investigator blinded trial.

The proposed study will assess the current sun safety policies and practices in programs for young children and to determine the willingness of stakeholders to incorporate more protective measures. The primary hypothesis is that children in Head Start programs, daycare programs, elementary schools, or summer camps are exposed to significant UV radiation throughout the day, and are not adequately protected with sunscreen, hats, or sun-protective clothing. The secondary hypothesis is that these programs value sun safety as an important health behavior, but probably do not have the funding avilable to make it a priority.

To determine the penetration of micronized and pigmentary TiO2 in Formulas 283419 2 and 760.001 into the stratum corneum of Compromised (Induced Sunburn) human skin via skin stripping of human subjects.

This project will pilot test whether a wearable device that tracks sun exposure and provides alerts regarding sun exposure and protection behaviors will reduce sunburns in melanoma survivors. The use of wearable technology devices has grown quickly over the last decade and studies using these devices to promote physical activity and weight loss have been promising. The investigators will pilot test the technology device versus a similar control device in 80 melanoma survivors and compare sunburns between the two groups after the three month intervention.

Treatment of chronic pain is a major clinical challenge since chronic pain is frequent and leads to deterioration of quality of life. An injury or wound can lead to long term changes in the nervous system that make the skin more sensitive at and near the injury; this is termed hyperalgesia and occurs through long term depotentiation (LTP), i.e., a change in the synaptic interaction between neurons. Opioids are the gold standard for the symptomatic therapy of moderate to severe pain. Now, in animal studies the investigators have discovered previously unrecognized effects of opioids. UV-B irradaition of the skin of the thigh is an established model of priamary and secondary hyperalgeisa in humans. The investigators want to test the influence of remifentanil, an ultra-short acting opioid, on hyperalgesia observed after UV-B irradiation in human volunteers in a double blind cross-over prospective active placebo controlled clinical trial.
