NCT ID: NCT03690375 Completed - Senile Purpura Clinical Trials

Broad Band Light for the Treatment and Prevention of Senile Purpura

Start date: August 27, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

There will be five subjects over the age of 65, each with at least one ecchymotic lesion on each arm measuring at least one cm, and five control subjects under the age of 35, both who will be randomized to undergo 4 Sciton Broad Band Light (BBL) treatments on either their left or right arm one week apart. Subjects will fill out questionnaires, have pictures of their lower arms taken, and will be graded and measured by evaluators regarding the number and size of their ecchymoses as well as side effects such as blistering, pain, erythema, and swelling. One day after their 4th treatment on each arm, subjects will have biopsies done to be analyzed for changes in histology and gene expression. The subjects will follow up 1 month after their last treatments for final pictures of their lower arms and evaluations.
