Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical observation frequently shows a paradoxical effect of topical corticosteroids in charge of a sudden melting of edema in the first days of treatment, which could be due to mobilization of extracellular. No study has shown the value of this measure in patients treated with topical steroids. This uncertainty, coupled with the observation of the paradoxical effects of topical steroids on edema are some patients that despite the systemic absorption of clobetasol propionate, a salt-free diet is not currently recommended practice.


Clinical Trial Description

The main objective of the study is to evaluate whether there is fluid retention after introduction of clobetasol propionate treatment from 10 g/day dosage to 40 g / day in patients with bullous pemphigoid. Bio-impedance is a noninvasive device for measuring with an electric current of low intensity the different volumes of the human body. A preliminary experiment of impedance measurements in some patients with bullous pemphigoid (examination requested as part of a nutritional assessment) showed that these patients had mostly a total water loss without dehydration, corresponding to a significant undernutrition during 1 month of treatment, possibly related to muscle wasting and protein loss by skin erosions without obvious argument for fluid retention, justifying reproduce these measures on a larger number of patients and the other to accurately assess the evolution of nutritional parameters during the first month of treatment. ;
