Athletic Injuries Clinical Trial
Official title:
Using Hydrating Cream to Improve Repeated Hand Skin Injury Among Tug-of-war Players: a Single Arm, Open-label, Split-hand Crossover Design Clinical Study
Athletes commonly face skin injuries during training and competition, which can negatively impact their performance and physical health. Injuries such as abrasions, cuts, burns, and sunburns can limit muscle contractions and range of motion, cause discomfort, and lead to bacterial infections. In addition, skin damage can lead to long-term skin problems such as skin aging and cancer, affecting athletes' overall health and performance. Protecting the skin is crucial for athletes to maintain optimal performance and physical health. The use of steroids is limited for athletes due to their status as banned substances. Topical steroids may also cause negative side effects, making it necessary to find alternative skin care options for athletes such as tug-of-war athletes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a topical hydrating cream for skin care in this population. The study involved using a moisturizing cream on the more severely affected side of one hand while the other hand acted as a comparative control group. After two weeks, the sides were switched, and the study continued for four weeks in total.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in skin symptoms | The change in skin symptoms after using the Hydrating Cream will be evaluated using a visual analog scale, which ranges from 0 to 100, and a higher score indicates more severe skin symptoms. | day 0 (before use), day 14 (exchange date), and day 28 (end of the trial) | |
Primary | Change in skin lesion area | The area of skin damage was estimated using the palmar method and recorded with photographs (excluding the face) | day 0 (before use), day 14 (exchange date), and day 28 (end of the trial) | |
Secondary | Change in skin moisturization | Quantification of skin moisture. This will be assessed by GPskin Barrier Pro, which detects trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and stratum corneum hydration (SCH), both important indicators of skin moisturization. | day 0 (before use), day 14 (exchange date), and day 28 (end of the trial) | |
Secondary | Change in quality of life | Assessed using the generic EQ-5D-5L scale for overall quality of life and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) for skin-related quality of life simultaneously | day 0 (before use), day 14 (exchange date), and day 28 (end of the trial) |
